Baywatch

Two performers borrow the names and characters of Mitch and C J from the 90s TV series Baywatch.
Seated in lifeguard chairs, they engage in a fully improvised conversation over two hours.

The work explores everyday language, intimacy and the dynamics of conversation under sustained tension.

“Inexplicably captivating.” — Göteborgs-Posten
