Automata, in collaboration with Ibex Puppetry, presents Bride of Wildenstein - The Musical, conceived and performed by Los Angeles-based puppet artist, chanteuse, and high-art drag personality Marsian. Bride of Wildenstein - the Musical revolves around an aging socialite who grows fur and claws in hopes of recapturing the attention of her philandering, game hunter husband. Bride of Wildenstein - The Musical investigates the idea of the grotesque through the story of one woman's personal struggle - losing her sense of self as her marriage dissolves. In her desperation, she takes drastic measures to reinvent herself, including a series of surgical procedures to become more cat-like. Although Bride of Wildenstein - The Musical is loosely inspired by tabloid accounts of the real life cat woman, Jocelyn Wildenstein, it remains a work of fiction. In Bride of Wildenstein - the Musical, Marsian gently turns the abrasive glare of the mirror onto the face of the audience and poses the question - Have you ever gone too far for love?
