Bigfoot Ripped My Dog in Half, I Saw It

Delving into the dark side of American mythos and the theater of mass distraction, a pair of teenagers fake Bigfoot sightings to pass the time in a flood-ravaged, 1990s Appalachian town. But when a neighbor’s dog is found torn to pieces, the joke curdles into a dangerous paranoia and the community zeroes in on conspiracy theories—in the meantime, the water keeps rising. As the community fractures under the weight of superstition and a looming water crisis, the teenagers must confront what might actually be terrorizing their community.

Blending precise choreography, clowning, and a nine-foot puppet created and operated by the duo, Xhloe and Natasha’s Bigfoot Ripped My Dog in Half, I Saw It explores how easily we fall victim to misdirection. The Brechtian two-hander is an international production co-produced by Soho Theatre and SoHo Playhouse and provides a quirky, high-quality alternative theatrical experience for the jam-packed Christmas season.
