Failed children's entertainer pushes boundaries with a unique blend of theater and electric punk energy
Theatrical shows that fall somewhere between a grand rock opera and an average episode of the Teletubbies. Bumble B. Boy does it. This Australian, who resides in Nijmegen, is currently perhaps the most bizarre festival sensation in the Netherlands. This rapidly rising art-punk artist and failed children’s entertainer is pushing boundaries with his unique mix of theater, storytelling, and electric punk energy. He emerged earlier this year as a true live sensation, aweing crowds at Best Kept Secret, Down the Rabbit Hole, and Into the Great Wide Open. Now it’s EKKO’s turn.
Support: Plastic Person
Plastic Person is everyone. Everyone is Plastic Person. Kicking against the direction every minute of every day is exhausting. Plastic Person is a coping mechanism. A real-life ad. A Balenciaga dragon. The darling of entertainment. We all scream to be unique in synchrony, so they have renamed themselves Plastic Person. The avant-gabber duo consists of Sob (45ACIDBABIES, FFOOSS) and Juna (Imhotel, Gita Buhari). The sound is both antisocially loud and recognizable for those craving change.
