Overview

Married couple Celia and Martin are brutally attacked on their drive through the Irish countryside. The attack leaves Celia with a violent schism in her mind, seemingly existing in two places at once: one the “ real” world, the other a howling maelstrom of abstract monstrosity. Of her husband, there is no trace… until weeks later, when Martin is discovered in a hospital for rare and abnormal diseases, his body spliced together with that of an unknown woman.And they are very pregnant.PUPPET’ S BANQUET is a “ diseased Gothic” ; a hallucinatory treatise on medical abuse; the systemic disease of colonialism and patriarchy; and the limits of human perception.
