A woman in her thirties (played by Kaitlin Kaufman) lives alone, well, not completely alone. She lives with her life-size doll (played by Maarit Hara). Today is the doll’s birthday! This piece follows the woman as she prepares a special celebration, trying to make the best of an evening full of mishaps. Am I the Only One is a theatrical mash-up of naturalism, clown, slapstick and the absurd, a journey to finding the laughter in loneliness. ABOUT THE ARTIST Kaitlin is a Lecoq-trained physical performer. She has clowned with the Big Apple Circus, Clowns without Borders and she's been working as a pediatric hospital clown for the past five years in NYC. In 2018 her full-length solo clown show, Yay America!, won the award of “Most Likely to Cause Whiplash over American Democracy” at Fringe PVD. Kaitlin is deeply fascinated by the clown’s ability to provide catharsis by revealing the poignant and hilarious truth of what it means to be human.(www.kaitlinkaufman.com/clown). Maarit is an actor, theater maker, clown and improviser from Helsinki, Finland. She is skilled in both drama and comedy, having trained at East15 Acting School (London) and the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (NYC).
