MEGAFAWN // GILGAMESH

MegaFawn is a performance collective dedicated to the examination of ecological catastrophe through the lens of ancient literature.

The Collective’s Epic of Gilgamesh is the mystic ontology of climate collapse, an avant garde opus retelling the world’s “first story” of hidden queer love, civilizational lust for immortality, the origin of patriarchy, and civilizations initial affront against nature, through a world touring immersive performance puppet opera. It is is currently under construction in New York City & Cascadia. Below are a few preliminary samples.
