Event Description

“Hilarious … expertly pulled off” -MyEntertainmentWorld

“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 for anyone who appreciates artistic risk - and wildly original success” -Georgia Straight

MULTIPLE ORGANISM is a genre and gender-bending surrealist comedy for adults. Expect bizarre and hilarious nudity using the body as a projection surface, colourful shadow puppetry projections, and an original musical soundtrack. We’re all just projections, man.

This show is a multi-layered psychedelic dream 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 with a pair of sentient toothbrushes. She must decide whether to follow her old internalized script, or release this script and love herself for who she really is. With a dramatic sub-plot featuring an affair between brushes, and one of the weirdest personal hygiene rituals you’ve ever seen!
