Capsize
Capsize is the exploration of a foundering relationship. Taking the
image of a capsizing ship as its motor, the show looks at how we fall,
attempt to right ourselves, and are changed by this effort. The elements
of the story are water and air, falling, separation, observation,
and failure. Using a sea of cloth, five chairs, and six buckets of
water, the actors create a world that is intimate, absurd, and violent.
The piece examines a couple and looks at their everyday movements
along a scale of proportion: reduced, enlarged, conflated, blown into
a million pieces. Throughout, a chorus observes and acts with, for,
and against the couple.

tour-de-force."”
