Soft Squishy Things

A trans-fem astronaut is stranded in space… so she starts making things: A Kleenex becomes an alien pet. A humidifier becomes her hype squad. Flashlights terraform entire worlds. Cotton balls drift through galaxies that look suspiciously like your Mom’s ironing board… Inside this handmade tabletop universe, nothing is wasted, everything and everybody is transformed into a companion, an absurd ritual, a reason to keep going. Part object theater magic, part cosmic daydream, Soft Squishy Things is funny, strange, and unexpectedly moving, a playful, tender ride through loneliness, identity, and the beautifully weird ways we create connection when there’s nothing left to hold onto. Come for the miniature DIY sci-fi. Stay for the soft squishy feelings. Notes on accessibility: Information about the accessibility of the venue in structural terms can be found here.
