Machiniac: A Play About Cybernetics + Awkwardly Unsuccessful Romance At The End Of The World

Stranded on a brick roof in Providence RI, an unlikely duo pass post-apocalyptic hours encountering memories that may or may not have happened or are not happening as they succumb to the temptations of biohazardous mechanical bionic unification. In the existential, dialogic tradition of Waiting for Godot, Machiniac is a play about cybernetics and awkwardly unsuccessful romance at the end of the world.

The cast includes An Talatinian, Lids Bierenday, and Ellen Zahniser. Tech crew includes Sam M-H and Addie Boyd. The play runs about 1 hour 10 mins with no intermission. Content warning for self harm, psychosis, descriptions of body horror, and partial nudity.

GLI$TER: A Fringe Arts show

The Hum’n’bards are back for the 2017 Philadelphia Fringe Festival!

This year The Hum’n’bards have adapted the story of Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice and taken themes from Orwell’s Animal Farm to create a show inspired by Weimar-era cabaret, clowning, and street theatre: GLI$TER.

Join The Banker and his tribe of Sad American Clowns as they weave the story of Shylock, Portia, Antonio, and Bassanio, all struggling to find common ground in a world controlled by judgement and greed. Featuring original music by Anna Michael and Travis Fischbach and performances by Eric Jaffe, Christina Higgins, Anna Michael, Travis Fischbach, Jeremy Adam, Taylor Plunkett-Clements and Lexi Pozonsky, GLI$TER will transport you to a sexy, glitter-fueled world where The Banker always wins.

…but remember to come prepared to tip with small bills, because these clowns work for cash and an empty hat can stop the show!

TWO SHOWS!
Tuesday, September 12th & Sunday, September 17th!!
Doors at 7pm, show at 8pm.
