The Flatiron Hex is a solo puppet performance that tells the story of Wylie Walker, a contract shaman who works for NYORG—a city in the middle of a swamp.
Wylie uses his unusual talents to solve problems and do routine maintenance on the city’s interweb bio-technology. Due to the haunted land and sentient mainframes, Wylie faces many occult adversaries. Storms constantly threaten to destroy NYORG, but a secret feature of the Flatiron building keeps the storms at bay, that is as long as the cloud-code is cracked and the correct ritual procedure is followed.
Inspired by speculative fiction & neo-noir, The Flatiron Hex is a peek inside a parallel world infected w/intelligent viruses, a contract shaman, a secret in the Flatiron building & paranoia. Elements of the fantastic collide w/the everyday to become evocative of a magical reality. It’s also a blood soaked puppet comedy about the quest for redemption & occult power.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
FRIDAY & SATURDAY @ 7:30 PM
