MY GRANDPA THE PASTOR

a mass made for churches

"My name is Paulina. It is a feminine form of Paul. So, I am named after the primary missionary of the original church, and founder of Christianity. And patron saint for the snake bitten.
 
I have not been to a church in 20 years.
But I have come here today, since the thought has returned time and time again. and, I think I should make it so.
You have gathered here today, to witness a meeting between me and my dead grandfather.
Welcome to my mass."

ROSEMARYS BABY SHOWER

Rosemary's Babyshower is a philosophical show about carrying and giving birth. About being two bodies in one, to be one and the same organism. To be the venue for the past and the future. To exist in a gap, a parenthesis. To be the center of the world.

Rosemary's Baby Shows is a flirtation with the horror genre and a longing away from the explanatory. With dreams of animal births, highly pregnant philosophers and a maternity band, Rosemary's Babyshower takes you through the whole experience of this strange condition.

BAYWATCH

BAYWATCH takes place in two lifeguard chairs with the audience placed around in sun loungers. Two actors borrow Mitch and CJ´'s (the old 90s TV series' main characters)  names, costumes and character gallery and talk for two hours about the trials of life, gossip, philosophical reflections and everyday events. At the same time, there is a constant threat and it is hot as in July.
 The performance is completely improvised and is based on a long work in which the actors examined the poetic potential of everyday conversation and what it means to get to know each other in depth. BAYWATCH is a deeply personal and unfiltered conversation where the audience gets a chance to eavesdrop.
