Buster Kitten
New act for Summer 2023!
An absurdist clown act following the Funeral Director's plight to keep himself together as he conducts a respectful service for his beloved cat, Buster Kitten.
I Invite you to join us as we toast with dignity, the last of Buster Kitten's nine lives.
'To die. To sleep. To sleep! Perchance to dream...' - Hamlet, William Shakespeare
Ernest Wormwood is no stranger to loss, his brother, countless pet fish, he had faith that they had all gone to a better place.
But when his beloved cat Buster passed off this mortal coil Ernest began to question what's to come, he turned back to his old crutch to try to make sense of the grief and the guilt surrounding their slightly volatile relationship.
Buster Kitten takes this as an opportunity to return to him for one last Hurrah.
Inspired by the infamous 'Absinthe' and the artists who used it in the 1800s.
“opaque, bitter, tongue-numbing, brain-warming, stomach-warming, idea-changing liquid alchemy,” saying, “It’s supposed to rot your brain out, but I don’t believe it. It only changes the ideas.” - Ernest Hemmingway
“Une correspondance pour Charenton,” (one ticket for Charenton, an asylum outside of Paris)*
This act grants permission to play with reality and delve into the absurd, with a little help from Schrodinger; 'The Cat in the box is both alive and dead until it's state is observed'.
But why is Buster Kitten trying to contact Ernest Wormwood from beyond the grave?
What is he trying to reveal?
