Miniature Curiosa

Through low-fi technology, puppetry, toy theater, and non-linear storytelling, Miniature Curiosa explores the underbelly of childhood nostalgia with the disappointed eyeballs of adulthood. For Luminaria 2017, members Murphi Cook and Zach Dorn premieredThe Clown Was Stung by Wasps,their most ambitious project to date. In this one-of-a-kind theatrical experience, five teens cozy up into yet another Friday night at Big Red’s Drive In. Except this time, audiences can tune into their chatter via FM radios. Simultaneously, an obscure silent-film hits the big screen, creating a strange and enchanting landscape performed through the magic of live-projection puppetry. Together, these spectacles combined to create an immersive evening of secrets, nostalgia, and perhaps even a bit of terror. The Clown Was Stung by Wasps was performedat the Magik Theatre parking lot on Alamo Steet
