Eva Buchmuller

Éva Buchmüller and Mr. Dead and Mrs. Free. She also became Squat Theatre's executive vice president in 1980 and manager in 1985.

Buchmuller's work with Squat Theatre as a scenographer included Pig, Child, Fire!, Andy Warhol's Last Love, and Mr. Dead & Mrs. Free. Pat Donnelly of the Montreal Gazette called the "talking dummies" she created for Squat Theatre's 1985 Montreal production of Dreamland Burns were the "real stars of the show", remarking that "their blank faces, animated by special film projectors, become almost human," and Craig Bromberg of the Chicago Tribune noted that the dummies were "the proper theatrical device for the more traditional setting" of the play's Chicago production. Mel Gussow of The New York Times praised Buchmuller's well-restrained attitude towards her work on the L Train to Eldorado (1987). She won a 1988 Obie Award for Sustained Achievement in Design. In 1991, she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship "for visual art for the theatre".

After Squat Theatre disbanded, Buchmuller and Anna Koos wrote a book to accompany a 1996 Squat Theatre exhibition at Artists Space.
