DESCRIPTION

An aquatic spectacle gone awry, a ship of fools without a compass… 

Created from such diverse threads as medical textbooks, Godzilla movies, the writings of Michel Foucault and watery imagery, The Great Circle Route takes the Squonkers on a descent into madness, under the deep, dark sea. The Kraken, a brine ballet, scintillating piano duets, wacky sax duets and lots of synchronized swimming.

Flooding the stage, the Squonkers explore just how watertight your typical theater is.

Created in 1998.
