Overview
About Me
I do experimental puppet shows about philosophy and ecology. Having toured through the Americas and Europe several times and am now making my way around the world. Street performance and intervention is very important to me, but I also perform in galleries and posh places. Radical Politics, Dadaism, some kind of Nihilism.

What I Can Share with Hosts
I can do a pretty sweet puppet show for you. That is my whole purpose here. These can run the gamut but in the past have been described as non-narrative anarchist/nihilist literary theory puppet shows about nothingness/ecology/ideology. They can be very adult themed, or wonderful for kids (let me know what you want).
I can also make a puppet out of almost anything, cook (i'm an alright cook don't get too excited), share a diverse digital array of films music and texts, and theorize about the end of the world.
