How to get there
Soft Squishy Things
She’s alone in space.
So she starts making things.
Soft Squishy Things is a lo-fi scifi odyssey in miniature: an intimate performance where a lone trans-fem astronaut survives isolation by transforming everyday objects into companions, worlds, and pop-culture rituals.
Inside this part object-theatre, part cosmic universe, nothing is wasted, everything and everybody is transformed into a friend, a first contact… a reason to keep going.
A Kleenex becomes an alien pet and marshmallows terraform new worlds.
Balancing humour, tenderness, and existential absurdity, Soft Squishy Things asks what happens to soft bodies and vulnerable hearts when they are propelled into the vast machinery of space, and how we continue to search for connection, even in the void.
Come for the DIY sci-fi. Stay for the soft squishy feelings.
*The August 14th / 7:30PM & August 15th / 3:00PM performances of Soft Squishy Things will be followed by a brief post-show Q&A.
