The play will be adapted by Neo-Futurist Ensemble Member Dan Kerr-Hobert, and accompanied by Mocrep’s Other Sensations, an original work directly inspired by Maher’s text.

More about Tedium
The Neo-Futurists explore the absurd text of Theater Oobleck’s Mickle Maher with a barrage of puppet forms at a small tabletop in Tedium, and Mocrep responds in a newly created companion piece, Other Sensations. In a multi-disciplinary journey through déjà vu, meta-theatrical successes and time-bending sonic experiments, a small ensemble of puppeteers and performers soothe the worries and sorrows of the world away.
