John Toot and The Great Metastization, the puppet show, is upon us in blood and fire. It is a live documentary composed of collected images, footage, and text regarding a real super city on another planet called New Puppet City, New Puppet. The city spans the entire world's surface, and eventually is born in an event called the Great Metastization, wherein urban development mimics embryonic growth, and urban life mimics cellular activity. During the Metastization famous New Puppet resident John Toot is killed while celebrating his 38th.

Stop Puppeting Yourself Puppet Co.'s full length debut is a cyborg tabletop puppet show with live camera generated stop-motion video projection. It featured direct-operated/bunraku-style puppetry, toy theater, string, and shadow, augmented by text and technical elements. It is a remix of surreal and science fiction, experimental film, anime, alternative-pop music, and modernist literature. It is also a puppet show.

Stop Puppeting Yourself Puppet Company is a Portland based Puppetry collective born out of the puppetry practice of Elliot Nye alongside too many friends to name. This iteration features Caroline James, Simi Kunin, Asa Shadis, and Phoebe Kolbert with contributions from Maggie Muth, Shane Cynewski, Carver Arena, and Michela Micalizio. We typically work with direct operated puppetry and object theater met with experimentation, onstage sound and lighting design, embodied performance, and camera/video technology.
