I’ve never seen two men stark-naked wearing only sneakers, making amusing installations with their penis, scrotum, testicles and buttocks - and for a whole 45 minutes! That’s what audiences will expect with Puppetry of the Penis.
Tagged as the ancient art of genital origami, the Tony Award-winning show, consisting of an impressive repertoire of genital gesticulations, originated in Australia and has since played in major cities around the world.
It’s flat-out funny it will leave you in stitches. “The Eye” was a little spooky. Everybody cringed with “Yoda”. “The Bulldog” garnered the most hysterical shrieks. “The Hamburger,” the signature trick that started it all, received enthusiastic applause.
My personal favorites are “Anemone”, “Kentucky Fried Chicken” and “E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial”. Other memorable installations include “The Woman,” “George W. Bush,” ”Mollusk,” and “Baby Bird”.
It’s not crass. It’s a decent show for mature audiences regardless of gender. A word of warning from its producers: The show may contain traces of nuts. ;-)
Watching it on a Friday night definitely relieved a week’s stress of hard work, although I had a headache from laughing too hard. :D!
The show closed appropriately with “Windsurfer” with one puppeteer on a skateboard stretching his scrotum like a sail, and the other puppeteer providing a good, strong “blow” whisking both actors across the stage and off.
