🐴Cast announcements for House of the Exquisite Corpse VI: LULLABIES are here!
 There are 6 rooms and every room features 2 to 3 puppeteers (and countless puppets), but before that can come to be, we have our room creators!

These are the folks who conceive of the creation, tie it to the theme, make the puppets and write the story.

Meet the creators of “don’t you want to live it? don’t you want to live your dream?”

FELIX is a Chicago-based artist, puppeteer, and game-master. They are an Associate Company Member at Tuta Theatre and a longtime collaborator with Rough House, Chicago Children’s Theatre, and Manual Cinema. Follow Felix @Enero.Gap

Abby Palen is a spectacle puppeteer and storyteller based in Chicago, IL. Abby says “My art belongs in extremes. In tiny quiet basements, in the loudest part of the street, or in the middle of the woods, you can find me with a story and an image to share.”
Tickets are now available to see their work at “House of the Exquisite Corpse VI: LULLABIES.” Link in bio above.

👀Take a peek behind the curtains of “Hushaby, hush you’re not going with them” at House of The Exquisite Corpse VI: LULLABIES.

Opens in just 8 days!

Unlike in *these pictures* (courtesy of fabricator @caitlinmcleoddesign ), you don’t always get to see the puppeteers behind these creations. But if you get the All-Inclusive package, you’ll have a chance to enter their rooms and say hello after the show (plus a few other perks).

🎟️All -inclusive tickets are available for the last show of the night on Thursdays and Sundays only. Link in bio for more details🎟️
