About the Show
Experience a Christmas Carol like you’ve never before. Devised by clowns and experimental artists, Company Holiday Party is an immersive Lynchian fever dream of holiday workplace dystopia that takes place somewhere between the past, the present, and the future, in a liminal space that might be a ceramics studio, or might be the carceral cubicle where you squander the best years of your life.
So raise a solo cup full of virgin’s blood in salute of our techno-oligarch overlords, praying that some of that sweet crypto might trickle down to us rookery urchins, and join us for a twisted, demented, darkly comedic take on the classic Charles Dickens tale of capitalist exploitation.
