Irnational Comedian & Weird-Lil’-Gremlin, Amica Hunter (they/them), GETS UNDER YOUR SKIN and CRUSHES YOUR FUNNY BONE in this hilarious, captivating, and sometimes-unsettling-comedy about skeletal systems and the horrors of living in a body. ANATOMICA is an intimate, unpredictable exploration of zoological fascination, chronic pain, & the collective imagination. It is a show striving to answer one crucial universal question - What is the BEST type of skeleton?!?!?
With candidness and a comfortably casual tone, Amica reviews the three skeletal systems found in animals and discusses the pros and cons of each one. What would it be like to inhabit a body completely alien from our classic human form? A gloriously deranged Ted-Talk by a wanna be scientist who dropped out of college to attend clown school instead.
Featuring a guided worm meditation, a slew of scientific animal facts, a butt-faced crab, and communication with the audience via a long plastic tube, ANATOMICA is an absurd shapeshifting show that will leave audiences with more questions than answers.
Part stand-up, part storytelling, and part clown, ANATOMICA is an investigation of the inadequacies of different animal body models, and a celebration of the absurdity of being trapped in a body that is limited by pain, fatigue, and ultimately decay. But, you know, make it fun.
Praise For ANATOMICA:
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (5 stars out of 5)
"Amica Hunter’s stand-up set disguised as a serious science lesson is like the mutant love child of Laurie Anderson and David Attenborough…ANATOMICA is an hour of chewy, fleshy charm.”
-Fish Griwkowsky, The Edmonton Journal
“An expertly crafted piece of theater… you’ll walk away wondering what you’ve just seen and wishing for more. Anatomica is definitely a must-see.”
-Kirk Sheppard, The Sappy Critic
“Biological, philosophical and full of silly costumes and amusing anecdotes, ‘Anatomica’ is both entertaining and thought-provoking.”
-Lania Berger, Orlando Sentinel
