Takers
Performed by students in Claremont Colleges
Highly imaginative, quirky and theatrical, this piece uses silver paint and balloons to create an otherworldly landscape. Inspired by the book “Ishmael” by Daniel Quinn and Gandhi’s experiences and observations living in Irvine, Orange County – the epitome of a “Brave New World”, petri dish society. Takers explores human society’s evolution and obsessive need for control.
