    In Baisch's worlds, the synapsis, that activated communicative space between our brain neurons, is the governing rule. import speech_memory is meant to be sat with and untangled, and the sparks of the space between its characters must be honored as much as the people themselves. It is a conflagration of conversations around identity, a wildfire that asks us to locate where our sense of self has been reduced to something more like transaction.
  • Dry Swallow
    24 Dec. 2019
    DRY SWALLOW's shipping container unfolds as something like a psycho-geographic Venn diagram - an overlapping triad of narratives that evolve together and apart. Inside this unruly illustration, cinder blocks are born and we look into dogs' buttholes for prophecies. The impact of Baisch's imagery is highly accumulative and lasting; the play overflows with cutting moments that illuminate horizontal violence in all its forms. This cubist work asks us where and when our codependency becomes something sinister. It shows us the vertical system stacked against us, and makes the system eat his own tail until he suffocates in slow motion.
