In the Lounge The Marvelous Mechanical Musical Maiden Carmel Clavin
About This Show
A project of the Spectacle & Mirth creation production cooperative
Discover this woman, once flesh and blood like you, who tangled with the Wizard of the Electric Age and lost her voice to a body of brass. This is her story of love, rebellion, and catastrophic whimsy. Will your spark wake her?
The Marvelous Mechanical Musical Maiden emits her music right from her person by way of a wearable looping device integrated into her clothing. She’s got no strings to hold her down as she spins a scene spanning over 100 years, several love affairs, wars, and one fateful run in with a resourceful megalomaniac known as Thomas Edison.
“Clavin has such empathy and warmth paired with a purity of voice, it is hard not to find yourself drawn in to an intimate tête-à-tête with her.” – All Over Adelaide
About the Artist
A Creative Producer from the mid Atlantic region, I have made my home in Richmond, Virginia. A founder of the Spectacle & Mirth cooperative, and producer of such absurdity as immersive cabarets, the internationally award winning show The Marvelous Mechanical Music Maiden, The Shenandoah Fringe Festival, and the Glamour Hobo Field Notes podcast. An overly complicated Venn Diagram of adjacent identities, I tour the world, tell stories, and play wearable musical inventions. This vaudevillian loves to sing too loud, stand very still, and wear grand hats. Find me on Patreon and be an accomplice to the GlamourHobo life. www.spectacleandmirth.com
