ONE FLEA SPARE​

by Naomi Wallace

Directed by Rudy Ramirez

1/8" scale model box

​

Our production is looking at Wallace's play as a case study of the plague cycle.

The audience is cast as scientists, observing the characters to gain insight into their own historical moment. The protagonist are specimens locked into glass boxes, like cultures in a Petri dish growing under our scientific eyes.

​

We wanted to emphasize the lack of human connection, the isolation, and the fear of  an infection taking over our world in reflection to the cover 19 pandemic.
