Picture
In this whimsical love story, inspired by artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, two sculptors learn to collaborate in life and art. Meanwhile, a pear falls out of a fruit bowl, gains consciousness and travels the world.

"Coosje is one of those rare, polished gems"..."should be on your 'must see' list" - Ethan Angelica, nytheatre.com

"Coosje is a rare find that combines different mediums to create something entirely new." - Sarah Lucie, Show Business Weekly

"A fanciful and engaging multimedia meditation on art and the marriage of true minds." - Jane Horwitz, The Washington Post

"A great way to reflect on art and art making, collaboration, and the importance of taking risks. It’s what Capital Fringe is all about." - Susan Galbraith, DC Theatre Scene

"What I loved about Coosje was its spirit—from the animated line-drawing background screens, to the silliness of a pear singing while holding a green suitcase, to the goofiness and enthusiasm of the artist couple making and debating art. It was fun and playful but intellectual and sincere." - dcist

"Reminds us that in the right hands, big theatrical magic can be made on a small budget. Coosje is definitely worth putting on your Fringe list. It left this crusty reviewer a little misty-eyed and more than a little perplexed – which is exactly what [Claes] Oldenburg would have wanted." - Andrew L. Baughman, DC Metro Theater Arts

"[Coosje makes] some very deep and touching points on why we should all be more playful so as to learn to find out what our purpose in life really is." - Stephen Tortora-Lee, The Happiest Medium

"There’s one startling moment...that was so tender and beautiful it actually made me gasp." - Greg Benson, Washington City Paper

"No.11 is immensely creative, integrating music, theater and performance art into a holistic experience. They should keep doing what they're doing!"
     - Alex Lacamoire
