The Lonesome Death of Eng Bunker

PRESENTED BY WATTLE AND DAUB WITH KAKILANG BY TOBI POSTER-SU PRODUCED BY NATALIE CHAN DIRECTED BY ISKANDAR SHARAZUDDIN Experience  puppetry, music and striptease in this gothic horror story about  siblinghood, diaspora and the brutal cost of assimilation.

On  January 17th 1874, Eng Bunker woke to discover his brother Chang was  dead. The twin brothers, Siamese immigrants and entertainers who had  carved out an uneasy space in the rotten heart of the American Dream,  were conjoined by a band of cartilage and shared a liver. This is the  story of Eng’s final hours; alone for the first time in his life. Using  puppetry, music and striptease, this is a gothic horror about the brutal  cost of assimilation, being entirely alone in the universe, and about  waking up tethered to a dead body.
