PLEASE

By Felicia Cooper

March 6 – 8

A New Woyzeck is erected as a pea-eating cam girl for the 21st century using puppetry, projection, and pop music. A high intensity trip through expressionism and indie sleaze, this performance explores the depths of surveillance, power and who holds it.

Felicia Cooper is a Minneapolis-based artist working puppetry and performance. Her work has been seen at Dixon Place, LaMama Theater’s Puppet Festival, the Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival, Full Moon Puppet Show, In the Heart of the Beast Theater, and more.
