Event Details

At once intimate and unsentimental, When the Skeleton Does Not Stand is a clear-eyed meditation on kinship, vulnerability, and the radical act of rising.

As part of the 2026 PlayGround Solo Performance Festival (SoloFest), Kristen Cosby presents this moving work which chronicles the intense bond between two siblings aboard their father’s sailboat where they are physically tethered together.

Their bodies and lives diverge as they grow. When one sibling suffers a paralyzing accident, the other begins a complex journey of grief, hope, and movement in order to embrace the fragile beauty of living bodies. 

A story of love, survival, and the miraculous ways connection can endure through tragedy.
