THE FREAK FAMILY ROADSHOW rolls into Ottobar...
Part roadside attraction. Part art installation. 100% MUST SEE!
Artist Jo Cunningham spent two years bringing The Freak Family Roadshow to life—a traveling sculptural installation inspired by the underground comics her father created in the 1980s.
Step inside the canned-ham trailer and meet the family: a gorilla mother, an alien father, and their wonderfully bizarre love child, forever trapped in an endless time loop somewhere between 1950s suburbia and another dimension.
After a year on the road leaving audiences equal parts amazed, bewildered, delighted, and asking, "What did I just experience?"... the Freak Family has finally landed at Ottobar.
