About the Artist
Tuna Helper and Mercedes Matilda met at NYU’s experimental theater wing where they both studied to be questionably successful strippers and performance artists. One of their shared accomplishments is the sheer amount of time Tuna and Mercedes have committed to considering how they might make a valuable contribution to their human family. Mercedes co-produces a monthly burlesque cabaret called Hypergender at the WOW Cafe Theater and Tuna uses her brilliant mind to compose touching music.
