About the show
The Flatiron Hex is a solo puppet performance that tells the
story of Wylie Walker, a contract shaman who works for NYORG, a city in the middle of a swamp. Wylie uses his unusual talents to solve
problems and do routine maintenance on the city’s interweb biotechnology.
Due to the haunted land and sentient mainframes, Wylie
faces many occult adversaries. Storms constantly threaten to destroy
NYORG, but a secret feature of the Flatiron building keeps the storms
at bay, that is as long as the cloud-code is cracked and the correct
ritual procedure is followed.
Inspired by speculative fiction and neo-noir, The Flatiron Hex
is a peek inside a parallel world infected with intelligent viruses and
paranoia. Elements of the fantastic collide with the everyday to
become evocative of a magical reality. It’s also a quest, a blood
soaked comedy of redemption and sacrifice.
