Welcome to the end of the world. Are you sitting comfortably?
Are you gripping your flashlight tightly? Did you take your pill today?
Quiet now.
A transmission’s coming through.
(workshop)
On a heap of garbage at the end of the world one fool looks for meaning and love from the only words they’ve ever known and an audience who might only be in their imagination. What is their purpose after everything else is gone? We’ll have to ask a certain sock puppet king to find out. King of Nothing reimagines the story of King Lear using puppetry, video collage, music, and red nose clowning.
