Camel Camel: A Macabre Comedy!
Camel Camel, an original, macabre comedy by international female duo Glitter Gizzard (Meghan Frank and Janessa Johnsrude) kicks off a 2015 west coast tour on August 22 at 9:00 p.m. at the Arcata Playhouse as part of the Creamery District Arts Festival. Sound design by local favorite musician Cory Goldman, costumes by Lynnie Horrigan, and creative consulting by Mooky Cornish of Cirque du Soliel fame. Desert voyages! Slapstick! Androgyny! Matadors! Imagine Abbott and Costello meets David Lynch or Beckett meets the Golden Girls. The sublimely grotesque and classically charming vaudeville duo, The Camel Sisters, invite you into their delightfully bizarre stage show. Things begin to turn in on them when a nefarious death-worm appears and they struggle to escape. Though the sisters have their differences, dark secrets and competitive thirst for the spotlight, in the end they realize they only have one another. Born from the absurdist/surreal poetry of a 1920s Ukrainian prisoner Oleg Navolska, Camel Camel uses elements of bouffon, clown, physical theatre, vaudeville, and gender bending to lurch through dark, imagined worlds in a cascading theatrical event that is both haunting and hilarious. For mature audiences. Tickets at Wildberries Marketplace, by phone or online!
