The sad shanty of sophronia: Director's cut

We worked with Joe Mazza of Brave Lux, Inc to document our work for Gashlycrumb Orphanage.  This was a glorious vision all his own, and too punk rock not to share.

Whale-killer whale

Whale (cardboard, 8ft x 4ft)
Originally created for Barrel of Monkeys' adaptation of the following story:

Whale Killer (excerpt)
by Mahmuud, 5th grade
I believe that people should keep hunting whales.  My first reason is the blubber is used for gas and cooking oil.  My second reason is whale’s meat is delicious.  My final reason is hunting whales is fun. This is why people should not hunt whales.

I love making pretty things that turn gross! - The story is narrated by two exuberant whale hunters who break the whale apart at the center and pull out yards of red fabric, which they use as a slip-n-slide as they extoll the virtues of whale hunting.
