Freak Nature Presents: Freak Nature

ADMISSION: Admission is free and open to everyone. Reservations required. RSVP beginning Tuesday, September 1, at 10 a.m. DESCRIPTION: “Puppetry is booming in L.A. Meet the new generation of performers making it cool again.”—Los Angeles Times “The bad kids of the alt-puppet scene…”—Hollywood Entertainment Los Angeles–based artist collective Freak Nature Puppets presents an imaginative performance that combines giant puppets, live theater, music, comedy, and visual storytelling. More about Freak Nature: Pack your carry-on and board your flight to Freak Nature Park, a most unique and unnatural wonder. You and your fellow tourists will encounter gentle giants, lovelorn copilots, a lonely lavatory, cursed Crankmen, and creatures of all kinds. Just don’t get too close—if you die in Freak Nature Park, you die in real life. Please exit through the gift shop. What to Expect: Described by Currant Jam Magazine as a collective where “event planning meets arts & crafts, sculpture, sketch comedy, clowning, music, and experimental performance art,” Freak Nature’s work offers a fun entry point into the joyful, creative world of contemporary puppetry and performance. This Is One Part of a Series! This performance is a part of Freak Nature at USC, a two-part series featuring the dreamlike and fantastical work of L.A.–based artist collective Freak Nature Puppets.
