The Cartesian Theater is an experiment in direct mind interface, developed by Big Daddy Mugglestone and Apocryphal Productions. The theater of the mind amplified and fully immersive, Cartesian Theater allows the performer to accompany their own brainwaves as if they were sitting inside their own head and for the audience to explore the soundscapes and visual compositions created.

Big Daddy Mugglestone (USA) has no body, just a voice. He lives eats and fucks through this voice, and this voice takes him all over the world. The king of Raw-Capella sings his songs accompanied only by the audience and the snap of his finger.

Apocryphal Productions utilizes aspects of animation, projection, shadow puppetry, marionettes, and hand puppets to create performances that move freely through the boundaries of movie screen and live theater.
Not only through physical depth of field, but also delving into the varied consciousness levels of the character as the actions take place behind screen, on screen, or on stage. Drawing upon the ritual performances of many cultures that reflect beliefs and traditions from around the world, Apocryphal Productions strives to revitalize our dreams as humans and share in the development of a new creative mythology.
