Covered by monitors, wires, and action figures, Idiot Void’s dim stage becomes an abstract survival bunker where a lone figure recalls a future collapse of civilization. He obsessively goes over the details of his old job, people in his neighborhood who have disappeared, and the tightening grip of a clandestine police state.
New work in NYC this June! Come see IDIOT VOID! TICKETS ON SALE NOW -link in bio.

Idiot Void

June 11-27, 2026
at The Collapsable Hole (155 Bank St, New York, NY.)
Idiot Void is a solo puppetry and multimedia work that examines loss, rage, and resilience in a digital fascist hellscape.
Covered by monitors, wires, and action figures, Idiot Void’s dim stage becomes an abstract survival bunker where a lone figure recalls a future collapse of civilization. He obsessively goes over the details of his old job, people in his neighborhood who have disappeared, and the tightening grip of a clandestine police state.

ACTUA 1 is a live-film performance piece by Brooklyn-based company Object Collection that constructs an event that both happened and did not. An exercise in futility and concentration, the piece is named after Actua One, a lost film from the May ‘68 uprisings in Paris.
Performers pace restlessly behind a movie screen erected onstage of the Collapsable Hole as well as in all the nooks and crannies of the theater and surrounding spaces.
Spouting slogans for a missing revolution, actors propel themselves out of stagnation and boredom through complex object procedures and mental tasks. Speeches, music, activities, text, and images are projected on to the onstage movie screen via video cameras and microphones, where the audience can watch from a comfortable distance.
The action is both intimately proximal and telepresent. ACTUA 1: an absent performance for five performers—the soldiers from Godard’s “Les Carabiniers” performing Allan Kaprow on public access.
Previously presented by Object Collection as a couple of one-off, no-fi gallery performances in 2011 (Presents Gallery) and 2013 (Invisible Dog Art Center), this production has been largely rewritten and is the theatrical premiere.
