Bigfoot Ripped My Dog In Half I Saw It at Summerhall

Written and performed by triple Fringe First Award winners Xhloe Rice and Natasha Roland, this absurdist physical theatre piece is set in a flood-ravaged, 1990s Appalachian town where a pair of teenagers fake Bigfoot sightings to pass the time. When a neighbour's dog is found torn to pieces, the joke curdles into dangerous paranoia and the community fractures under the weight of superstition and a looming water crisis. Blending precise choreography, clowning, and a nine-foot puppet created and operated by the duo, the Brechtian two-hander explores how easily people fall victim to misdirection. The show is an international production with Soho Theatre and SoHo Playhouse, directed with Tom Costello, with lighting design by Angelo Sagnelli.
