Solar-Powered Generator: BOYSCOUTMARIE x We Wiggle Dolls
Rock band + puppets + performing behind a sheet together = ohhhhh yeahhhhhhhh
SOLAR-POWERED GENERATOR is an audio-visual live music spectacle, created in collaboration between the Brooklyn-based band BOYSCOUTMARIE and the puppetry organization We Wiggle Dolls.In this production, the band performs behind an oversized white sheet as the light artists in one moment recontextualize their silhouettes in psychedelic colors and textures, and in the next stretch and distort their images using mobile light sources.
BOYSCOUTMARIE is blowing minds and moving hearts in Brooklyn with their profoundly realized music and explosive live shows. An excitingly original, yet beautifully nostalgic “genre buffet” rock trio, they have developed a sound lovingly referred to as “soft and hard”. The psychological effects of engaging with BOYSCOUTMARIE music include hallucinations and an inability to discern fantasy from reality. Ecstasy and psychosis also may occur, particularly if a listener consumes a large dose. Strictly bangers brought to you by Staci, Billy, and Judah.
We Wiggle Dolls is a Brooklyn-based puppet event organization/collective born out of a recurring variety puppet show (or “puppet slam”) of the same name. Since October 2023, We Wiggle Dolls has hosted 8 traditionally formatted puppet slams, several medium to long form shows, workshops, immersive experiences, a 6 day puppet festival and embarked on a tour across the east coast and midwest. We Wiggle Dolls mission is to reach new audiences immersed in the world of puppetry, and to share as wide a variety of modern puppet works as possible, or at least some of the most exciting.
Opening Acts:
