The Lonesome Death of Eng Bunker

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.
