Death and Giggles + Sock and Shoe


The Actors' Gang and Three Chairs Theatre Company take us on an eclectic, kinetic, and exciting night of edge of your seat frivolity featuring former Cirque du Soleil performer Daisuke Tsuji.

The evening begins with Soul Mate, a lonely shoe's search for his perfect pair. Brought to life through found object puppetry, this charming and poetic love song leaves us bittersweet and hopeful. Death and Giggles transports us to the absurd world of the afterlife, mixing sock puppets, clowning, dance, and balloons to tell the story of one man's transcendent journey. This visceral performance pulsates with humor and joy even as it delves into our darkest questions of mortality and joy.
