Are you scared of death? Have you ever wondered if there’s more to existence? Do you like jazz?

Answer these questions and more as award winning performer Em Barrett immerses you in her strange and twisted dark comedy; all from the perspective of a fly. For too long humans have been stealing, swatting, and sweating on planet earth. Neglecting their role in the ecosystem and building their own self pitying, oily global enterprise. All the while flies have been cleaning up their mess- literally! And all they get is a smack over the head with a rolled up newspaper.

Well one fly has had enough. Time for you to drop that wad of cash and hear the truth- straight outta the fly’s proboscis.

Performed exclusively in the style of Bouffon Clown, PURE GRIME promises a fresh take on human existence. With support from Barbarian Productions’ head clown Thomas LaHood, this original comedy seeks to explore humanity’s relationship to death and decay; asking human’s to question their own relationship to not only flies but themselves.

“I really love how this show tickles our intellect at the same time as tickling our base human funny bones. It is grotesque and gross, but isn’t that what we are as humans? As much as we try not to be, we are. And we must know that and laugh at that. No spoilers, but you’re likely to feel very, ugh, seen… I know I am.” Gin Mabey, Theatreview

An interactive, visceral, and thought provoking work. A celebration of the grotesque and the joys that arise from it.
