(De)monstro: A Participatory Ritual by CRASIS
(De)monstro is an interactive art performance blending spoken word, music, puppet theater, and sacred clowning. RSVP to attend!
From a queer, eco-feminist perspective, (De)monstro honors destruction in service of life. Props, puppets, and costumes are made from foraged plant and fungal materials, as well as salvaged textiles, wood, metal, and papier-mâché. Audience members are invited to participate in creating sound for the ritual using handmade devices, and by feeding the monsters chunks of reality to be magically destroyed.
