Dedicated to Cuatro Puntos and The American School for the Deaf.
Squish! is a love story, King Kong’s lovestory. But not the conventional one immortalised in the 1933 Hollywood film - the terrifying giant ape astride the Empire State Building who clasps the fainting heroine, while swiping hopelessly at the planes which eventually sendhim crashing dead to the ground. This is the American Sign Language (ASL) version which has something of a twist at the end.
Squish! was written as Composer-in-Residence with Cuatro Puntos and was commissioned withfundsfrom the Connecticut Office of the Arts. The premiere took place at the American School for the Deaf (the oldest permanent school for the deaf in the United States founded in 1817) in West Hartford, Connecticut, on 7thDecember 2016.
