Up and down the pacific northwest coast there are stories shared of the great flood. They speak about the rising waters, the urgency to escape to higher ground and coming down to start over again after the water recedes. In my home community, Wuikinuxv, it is said the People who survived the flood climbed the mountain known as Kvauma (seat of the eagle) to escape the push of the ocean water. In making a lot of the work for this show I was thinking about the art we make and the work we do after loss…after a series of losses. What happens when catastrophe and heartbreak are normalized in our bones? Where do we place focus? Do we look at what has been taken, or to what remains and can be reclaimed?

What happens when four physical theatre veterans are set loose in a studio to make the most playful improvised hour they can?
Aaron Malkin and Alastair Knowles (James & Jamesy), Nayana Fielkov (Ragmop Theatre), and Chloe Ziner (Mind of a Snail Puppet Co.) bring international touring credits and critical acclaim to a live, unscripted experiment in clown and improv.
A live camera joins the game—becoming character, scene partner, even set. Structure dissolves. Comedic risk-taking takes over. The only rule: keep playing.
Who wins? Who loses? Who cares? The joke is always on us.
Driven by a relentless pursuit of play—from the blink of an eye to the swing of a chandelier—these four performers chase the absurd wherever it hides.
Witness a gleefully unhinged experiment in avant-garde theatre.
