Pickled Republic
Welcome to the jar.
Here, tragedy floats and the wail of an abandoned tomato cuts through the salty atmosphere.
Come hear the lament of lives not lived, watch the chaotic energy of the search for meaning and find connections between these decaying vegetables and your own existence.
Be prepared, bring a hankie, will you laugh or cry?
Who knows.
You’ll leave stirred up but none the wiser.
A surreal theatrical cabaret for adults with puppetry, mask, and perhaps a poem that promises more vegetables per pound than any supermarket.
Don’t worry about inflation when there is disintegration. MadeInScotlandShowcase.com
