"Hanging by a Thread"

​

 

Puppets know all about precarity. We’re familiar with hanging by a thread, used to being manipulated, old hands at getting a rod up the ass—but no matter what they throw at us, together we always manage to find a wee bit of grace and a way to have fun. Tonight, we celebrate the surprising strength of the collectively-woven thread we’re all hanging from. Old and new object-performers: bring your precarious puppets, your awkward objects, your half-finished ideas, your barely baked narratives! We will revel in Bygone Theatre’s space before their eviction by their corporate landlords!! 

If you’ve been curious about Concrete Cabaret before, but unsure if you could pull something together, we really hope that this is the time for you!
 

We are looking for experimental puppetry and material performance pieces between 3-10minutes long. We want you Hanging by a Thread, unpolished, under-rehearsed - show us what you're working with. We are prioritizing NEW applicants for this cabaret.
