"Their work has a very whimsical quality. Playful, sometimes magical, and there’s also something about it that transcends words.... This is one of the best Happenstance plays I’ve seen" – WYPR"JUXTAPOSE is about the power of connection, the power of memory, the power of imagination, and the power of hope... It's beautiful, timely, relatable, sorrowful, and absolutely exquisite." – DC Theater Arts
"Spectacularly magical [and] visually stunning"
"If you are looking for an entertaining, wonderfully weird, and provocatively thoughtful play, then this is one you do not want to miss." – MD Theatre Guide
JUXTAPOSE is inspired by the shadow boxes of Joseph Cornell, the films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amélie), and Mon Oncle by Jacques Tati.
Eccentric characters trying to coexist in a magical-realist tenement building during the sixth mass extinction have their lives interrupted and illuminated by a human shooting star who crash-lands through their roof.
As humanity teeters on the edge of the frame, we remember that our shared mortality, the ability to laugh at fear, and the limitless hope of imagination might save us from the despair of ending.
