Lupi Lupi Lu

· 0h 5m · Music

Watch it tonight if you're in the mood for something genuinely weird and intellectually bold—this is experimental theatre that uses absurdist humor and animal costumes to wrestle with a serious autoimmune disease, and that kind of audacious creativity deserves an audience. Skip it if you need traditional narrative structure or a laugh track, but if you're craving something that'll make you think and feel in unexpected ways, this peculiar little musical is exactly the kind of undiscovered gem worth taking a chance on.

Plot

An absurd yet serious musical about medical diagnosis and the illness lupus. Dressed in animal costumes, two people in an empty theatre switch between the roles of illness and patient, actor and audience, wolf and butterfly. The animals are associated with the illness, which the director has: lupus means wolf in Latin, whilst patients often have a 'butterfly rash.' With blue medical curtains paired with red velvet stage curtains, it echoes the uncomfortable feeling of being on show when in hospital.
