oW wOw mEoW
presents Let Them Eat Melon
oW wOw mEoW is a puppet duo, anti-folk band, and experimental performance duo made up by pompom pirate and cornbread jimmy sweet. Pompom is an herbalist, therapist, and clown described as a “schizoanimist with a heart of gold,” and cornbread jimmy is a sculpture, puppeteer, and experimental performer whose whose work “shocks people out of their everyday lives and transports them into a world of mutant giants riding motorcycles.” Their work often involves Interactive storytelling, absurdist musical punk theater, “body horror, but cute,” clowning trees, existential bathroom humor, anarchist memes, dinner party executions, ex-boyfriend exorcisms, vandalism, carcinization, and surprise crowd surfing. You’ll come into an OWM show with nervous anticipation and leave saying “I can’t believe I traded my tickets to Wrestlemania for this shit.”
oW wOw mEow presents their surrealist puppet punk show: Let Them Eat Melon: A puppet show inside a watermelon, inside a stomach, inside of a anti folk music show, looking at themes of microbial ecosystems, health autonomy, death and decay, and connecting systems of body to systems of ecology and politics. We use music and puppetry to explore how the worlds inside us connect us to the worlds beyond us and create stories that are equal parts hilarious, grotesque, and beautiful.
