About the Project

Bebé Bebé

Written & Performed by Veronica Osorio 
A Solo Clown Show

A 3am pumping sesh turned into a show when the audience materializes in the livingroom of this sleep deprived new mom. As she attempts to entertain the visit (a postpartum woman never should) she dives into stories of who she was before baby and how we ended up here. Can you help her? Are you the village?

Fresh from the most life-altering experience a person can go through… no, not having your country seized by the U.S.A and mined for oil… but having a baby and then getting OCD-Veronica Osorio is staging a new hour. Ok. Realistically? She’s been mostly in a 3am delirium.

WHO AM I? WHO ARE YOU?
What are you doing here? in my livingroo

Why is my baby so big? When did it grow this beard?

WILL WE GET THE ANSWERS?

WARNING: There’s a strong chance you’ll see a breastfeeding nipple. Does that count as nudity? Think about it.

CONTENT WARNING: If you’ve ever auditioned for things you might get triggered. Body being amazing/horrific. Blood. OCD. Identity slipping. Sleep deprivation. Loneliness.
