WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Los Grumildos is a puppetry experience that is part performance and part installation created by Peruvian artist Ety Fefer. This voyeuristic experience invites you to visit a magical land where half human half animal creatures inhabit a kind of B-side fairy tale, and a place where Victorian dollhouse meets burlesque. The puppets are Barbie-sized, plasticine-made hyperrealist automatons, but the Barbie analogy stops here. In the world of Los Grumildos, you will meet a sordid and grotesque cast of characters... those you could find only in the seediest underbellies of the city.
The
experience lasts approximately 15 minutes, but audience members are invited to stay as long
as they wish.

For those New Yorkers struggling to figure out what to do this humid week - especially those planning an unusual first date --
Los Grumildos, the puppet instillation tucked into the basement space at HERE, might be the perfect answer. These extraordinarily crafted mechanized puppet tableaux are bound to stimulate many a lively conversation.
From the humanoid octopus with fedora crooning away an unheard tune to a go-go boot sporting fly, which has a bald man's head that suggests the insect has been crossed with Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellen in a particularly malevolent mood, the puppets are marvels. With the exception of headdresses and footwear, none of the creations wear any real clo[...]
