The Jellyman

Men, monsters, microbes + mayhem

Jerry Hatrick is a complicated man. He’s full of opinions and garbage and is so very sure that he’s right and worth listening to. He also looks a lot like Rhiannon Petersen; a party store Prometheus, created with stuff you can buy at Spotlight.

Rhiannon is a gentle, existential woman. Really she just wants to make fun + ludicrous art while also giving a cheeky finger to the oppressive constructs that restrict us. She is also full of opinions, but also contradictions, and will maybe tell you a story about her damaged butt muscle.

Monsters, microbes and inflatable wind puppets unite in this demise of certainty, as Rhiannon + Jerry’s identities are deconstructed and put back together. Expect lip syncs, re-mixes, and dumb jokes, in this surreal meditation on the fragments that build us into who we are.
