SUMMARY:FirstWorks Spectacle: Squonk "Brouhaha"
DESCRIPTION:Squonk creates boisterous outdoor spectacles by fusing fantastical visual design\, playful staging\, and high-energy original music. Witty and whimsical\, Squonk’s free performances bring audiences together for a joyful celebration of humankind and our peculiar world. Critics have called Squonk “a blazingly unique spectacle” (Time Out New York) and “ingenious\, hallucinatory and hypnotic” (The New York Times). \n“Brouhaha\,” Squonk’s newest show\, is an immersive outdoor spectacle bursting with rollicking music\, dazzling imagery\, and the thrill of audience participation. At the center of this riotous romp is the Squonkcordion\, an enormous musical instrument powered by behemoth bellows topped with towering tuba bells. At the peak of the performance\, Squonk invites the audience to play this foghorn organ\, welcoming them to experience the joy of community\, the power of live music\, and the pageantry of Squonk’s visual extravaganza.

SUMMARY:Squonk: Hand to Hand
DESCRIPTION:Squonk’s latest free outdoor spectacle is a joyous\, participatory event that brings audiences together for a humorous\, uplifting visual extravaganza.\nPropelled by Squonk’s irresistible music\, the show features two giant purple puppet hands\, each the size of a house and rigged like a sailing ship. Squonk invites audience members on stage to power the giant fingers\, creating a larger movement and web of connections through their individual dance. During this wild revelry\, the thumbs detach to become truly opposable. Two guitarists operate the thumbs while engaging in a musical face-off. \nThroughout this raucous journey\, Squonk’s musicians create melodious madness\, a combination of shimmering keyboard\, powerful guitars\, wild wind synth and propulsive rhythms. \nInspired by a desire to bring people together in a time of isolation and divisiveness\, Hand to Hand provides a thrilling moment of unity and community in a safe\, public\, outdoor space. \nCritics have praised the show as “Flamboyant! Dreamy!” (Pittsburgh City Paper) and  “Playful! Imaginative! Fun and outlandish!” (Pittsburgh Quarterly). \nMultiple Performances!\nSaturday\, June 11: 1:00-1:30\, 2:30-3:00\, 5:30-6:00 PM\nSunday\, June 12: 1:00-1:30\, 5:00-5:30 PM.
