TUBE TIED: A “Show" About TUBES & SECRETS (NOLA Giant Puppet Fest)

From the Stinky Lil' Ratman who brought you ANATOMICA....

Award-winning vermin Amica Hunter (they/them) returns to NOLA with a VERY stupid tube-heavy chaotic comedy show as part of the New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival!

“TUBE be, or not TUBE be?” IS that the question? Not really. Maybe? It doesn't really matter now, it’s too late. Behold! Amica approaches with a fistful of TUBES and a mouthful of WORDS, to give you an earful of SECRETS in this stand-up-lay-down squirm-around comedy set. It’s about secrets, it’s about cylindrical structures, and it TOTALY MAKES SENSE! 20+ time award winner Amica Hunter has “lost the plot” and seems to be “giving up” with this ridiculous anti-theatre “show” that is literally about literal tubes in the most literal way (...it has secrets in it, but is mainly about tubes). Like. What the fuck!?!?SECRET TUBES are coming ... and YOU can see them. Can HEAR them. CAN TOUCH THEM!!!!

ABOUT THE RAT:

Amica Hunter (they/them) is your basic multi-layered mammalian organism - a creaking calcium scaffolding, wrapped in wet pulsing blood tubes and layers of raw meat, all dipped in a skin coating and rolled in hair. Like some sort of effed up, sentient, caramel apple. An all-purpose weirdo and Creator of Things™, Amica’s interests include cute living creatures, cute dead creatures, bad movies, tree climbing, napping, pranking their gynecologist, and gluing baby doll limbs to shoes. Amica enjoys pointing out the absurdity of things we take for granted, and our arbitrary systems of judgment that so often value all the wrong things.

Amica dropped out of college to attend clown school, and spent the subsequent decade touring original award-winning slapstick comedy shows as one half of the acrobatic clown duo, A Little Bit Off. They also devise and perform shows with Bruce Ryan Costella under the moniker 2 Sleepy Ratguys. Amica is the co-founder and producer of an annual queer horror theatre festival in Portland, OR - The Stage Fright Festival, which showcases the original works of independent queer and trans artists in the horror genre.

They also run Funerals For Life, an immersive event service offering “fake funerals” to living customers, for celebrations such as birthdays and anniversary parties. Amica has a great love of rats, and has kept them as cherished pets on and off throughout their life. Their current crop of rodents are The Cheese Brothers: Monsieur Poirot, Shredder, and Monica II, and they are spoiled as hell. Needless, to say, Amica is VERY busy and they have a LOT of ideas.
