Happy Accident Presents “Vol. 1”
Wednesday, August 19
Doors: 7:30 PM / Show: 8 PM
Recommended for ages 16+
Portland-based duo Happy Accident (puppeteer liz HOWLS and musician/unlicensed electrician Servant Baby) joins us for a night of multimedia mayhem. Using giant puppets, found objects, sputtering lights and live performance they tease out the toxic threads that emanate from contemporary culture and weave them into a new absurdist narrative that colorfully reimagines Saturday mornings spent in front of the TV drooling over piles of synthetic material. By the end of it we are left to ask ourselves: "What kind of culture would produce something like this?"
And don’t miss Happy Accident’s puppetry workshop on 8/20. Limited tickets sold separately here!
About Happy Accident
Belching forth from the glorified backwater village of Portland, OR, Happy Accident’s work explores the exponential pace of overwhelming absurdity in our world. Found objects, large scale puppets and sputtering lights bring you face to face with the cuddly nightmare that is everyday life. An anti-clown car driven by master puppeteer liz HOWLS and co-piloted by musician/unlicensed electrician Servant Baby, Happy Accident ecstatically careens down the wrong side of the lost highway leaving a trail of old copies of Weekly World News and Jack in the Box wrappers in its wake.
This event is part of our Summer of Puppetry at BBMT series. This August, explore puppetry in all its forms at BBMT. As Choo Choo Revue marks the future of puppetry at BBMT, we're thrilled to share our stage with special guests that are pushing the boundaries of puppetry with their own unique styles. The month includes special events, from performances to workshops, featuring the puppeteers of Happy Accident, Dilly's World, and more.
