The Fantastic One - Halifax Fringe 2022

60 MIN | PWYC

Comedy | Adult Language, Mature Themes

A man struggling with identity reports on forcing himself to love a fictional character chosen arbitrarily, The Thing from Marvel Comics’ Fantastic Four, to reach the core of his true self. He will either become totally satisfied as “Fan of The Thing”, or find ultimate sublimation once he can completely answer why loving The Thing isn’t enough to escape alienation. Electric banjo parodies of hit songs explore addiction, technology and love in Canada in the 21st century.
