HOMUNCULUS is a madcap stage comedy about Art, Truth, Love and other monsters, custom-made for Edinburgh's famous international Fringe Festival. For 55 minutes of nonstop whiplash plottwists and sparkling verse, a wildly energetic cast of screwball characters --and all of their romantic, artistic and alchemical problems-- explode onto the festively chaotic scene of the studio-lab of a love-scorned sculptress-sorceress.

Continuing its journey from a D-I-Y lower-Manhattan loft to off-off-Broadway to an indie film soundstage , by way of a Brussels blackbox , the play will spend August finding a new fanbase at Edinburgh's Space Triplex BIG stage , a prime spot in the prime slot of 9:30pm, from Aug 7-29. The youthful energy, modern-day mumblecore, and countless classical references to farce and horror genres is sure to have the Fringe audiences howling.

We are all set for another sellout hit--but NEED YOUR HELP to defray basic costs--especially the surge-priced festival accommodations--that we have reserved for our artists: a cast of 6 and production team of 5 staying in a combination of local flats and dorm rooms.

So whether or not you can make it to see us in Edinburgh (and please come say hi if you do!) you can still be a crucial part of our story by contributing anything you have to spare to help us get there.

Any amount helps, and the ensemble is working away on creative thank you gifts for you. A gift of €250 or more will win your choice (while supplies last) of the unique, original sculptures created by the 'Foam Gnomes' o to decorate the stage.
