This was our very first version of the show! We performed twice. We wore shiny socks. Amazing audience at Tranzac Club. It was such a blast!
Café Concret, Studio 303, Montréal – December 12, 2021
Performed the Sawing Act. Two days later, MTL went into lockdown. Coincidence?? Don’t think so.
Voix-de-Ville,The Wiggle Room, Montréal – May 2022
We performed the burlesque piece in an on-the-round space; a challenge for an otherwise frontal show. We crafted a large box for the occasion (which we acquired by intercepting two people carrying a massive box on the street). We won the title of Monarch of the Mountain, and got to perform again the following week!
OUF! Festival Off Casteliers, Montréal – May 21, 2022
Performance in a tent. It was an unusually windy day, and the tent, some would say, was porous. It was our dustiest show thus far. In a reckless last-minute frenzy—maybe storm-induced—we decided to include a new scene that was still in its early stages of development. It was worth it! Viva Alphonse! Shoutout to Cynthia, who got us bubbles.
Bread and Puppet Theater, Glover, Vermont – July 2022
We were guest performers for B&P’s Sunday evening shows. Played two shows for a raucous audience. Most humid conditions thus far. The Paper-maché Cathedral, with its glorious dirt floor, is a recipe for warping cardboard and dissolving packing peanuts. Shoutout to Esteli and Phoebe, who played the sax and sound cues, respectively.
