HOUSE OF THE EXQUISITE CORPSE Announced At Chopin Theatre

This October, dare to enter the HOUSE OF THE EXQUISITE CORPSE, a horror peep-show puppet-theater anthology. Peer through keyholes, cracks, and hidden doors to discover surreal worlds that will terrify and amaze.

Following last year's spectacular debut, HOUSE OF THE EXQUISITE CORPSE is moving up to the Chopin Theater Main Stage with an expanded program of eight new immersive acts of original puppet horror. This unique experience beckons audiences to explore the tormented halls, peeping in on the otherworldly ills that plague each room. Through puppetry, physical performance, soundscape, and illusion, each room in the House of the Exquisite Corpse will horrify and mesmerize. Audiences beware: if you can see these nightmares, they can see you too.

Conceived by Mike Oleon and featuring work of artists Time Brickey & Sam Lewis, Felix Mayes, Grace Needlman & Will Bishop, Mike Oleon, Claire Saxe & Kevin Michael Wesson, K.T. Shivak, Corey Smith, and Jaerin Son.
