Cynthia
A One-Drag-King-One-Mannequin-Show
Cynthia was a model, an influencer, a socialite, a celebrity and a household name in the USA in 1933.
But unlike other celebrities of her day, she got dismantled into pieces at the end of her day and stowed away in a body bag. Cynthia was a mannequin. Her creator, Lester Gaba, a window display designer in New York City, became her manager, puppeteer, and chaperone, taking her to dinner clubs, theater premieres and fashion shows, and performing for her and answering for her to her adoring fans.
Written and Conceived by Zoe Lohmann (Germany) | Performed by Alexander Cameltoe (International Man of Mystery) | Digital Artwork by Itar Pas (Argentina) | Production Management by Amaranta Heredia (Spain) | Sound Design by Emilija Fjalkauskaite (Lithuania)
