Multiple Organism
"unlike anything you've ever seen... the show's freewheeling inventiveness, technical precision, visual and acoustic texture, and giddy transgressiveness make it a must-see" -Georgia Straight
MULTIPLE ORGANISM is a surrealist comedy about having a body - and how our body is seen by others.
An artist's life model, tired of being objectified, steals a magical paintbrush and falls down a proverbial rabbit-hole where she must decide whether to follow her old internalized script, or release this script and love herself for who she really is. Nudity. Gender bending. Original music. Old-school overhead projectors. Sentient toothbrushes.
★★★★★ “Daring ... raunchy ... ingenious” -VueWeekly
“Hilarious … expertly pulled off” -MyEntertainmentWorld
