Baywatch

A performance for two actors and an audience on stage.

Two performers borrow the names and characters of Mitch and CJ 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
