Fin A darkly comic puppet show. From the debris of VCA_x0019_ s scrapped puppetry course comes this stunningly original tale where a sardine can and a latex glove create Fin, a wordless antihero stuck in trash city. With a clown brain and film noir heart, Fin is a hand crafted ballad that_x0019_ s as funny as it is heartbreaking. This is craft-savvy puppetry for a new generation. Fin is the tale of a lonely creature who falls from the sky and finds himself surrounded by enchanted garbage. Dental floss tumbleweeds flutter by, bandaid butterflies stick to themselves and tin can towers loom above. This brave new world is sinister, and smells like wet shoes. Night falls, and Fin sits alone staring up at the alfoil stars. He longs to escape. What_x0019_ s that scurrying? Is he really alone? Fin_x0019_ s story is a tender peek into the dark heart of love and sacrifice. The silent film puppetry and poxy musical score weave a world in which dummies are deviants, words have been exiled, and hope is to be found in the bottom of a can. Littered with laughs and smeared with soul, Fin is the thrilling debut show from Mere Mortals Theatre.
