Pickled Republic: Existential Questions, Ridiculous Answers
Pickled Republic is an exciting solo show about our search and need for purpose. Inventive clowning, puppetry, and mask theatre combine to create a show full of “confident absurdity…., pitch-black humour and pulpy carnage”. (The List)
The show follows the tragicomic journey of a few outrageous characters – including a pickled tomato and a potato-headed lounge singer – who come to life to ask major existential questions and offer ridiculous answers, leaving audiences with a hilarious “uneasy queasiness” (The List).
Relish in an unearthly cross between Eugene Ionesco absurdism and David Lynch smoky mystery that explores despair in a most ungraceful way. What do you do when there’s nothing (left) to do?”
