The Crud - Buntport Theater

HOARDER’S DELIGHT

An absurd fairy tale about both the crud on your floor and the crud in your head.

The Crud follows the repetitive days of Dear Deer, Barely Bear, and Broken Baby Doll Detective as they try to navigate their boredom. Nothing is important and everything is of the utmost importance. They pass their time reciting exactly what is happening, watching their Great Pile of Crud, and eating jelly toast. Thanks to the forgettable fellow in the corner, they also get to ponder whether anything is worth remembering.

This dark comedy was based on the contents of a storage locker that Buntport purchased at an auction. Like on the television show Storage Wars, Buntport bid on an abandoned locker. Unlike the show, they are not re-selling the contents, but are instead making a play with them. Click here for more info on the creative process and the rules that we made for ourselves.

Check out the story about the process on Colorado Public Radio

A man in all white clothes and hat sits in a chair talking. Behind him is clutter. Something is being projected on him, but it is unclear splashes of color.

A person wearing a giant outfit made of stuffed animals stands in the middle of a cluttered room. She has her arms out and is talking. In the background there is a white wall full of white items.

A woman covered in stuffed animals is looking up solemnly with one hand raised as though she is making a pledging. She has a small stuff dog on her head and clutter behind her.

A man dressed all in white is drinking out of a twisted bendy straw that spells “meta4”. His eyes are closed and he wears a hat. He is lit patchily by a projection that also hits the wall behind him.

Peaking up from behind a bunch of clutter is the top of someone's head. They are glaring at something in the distance and have a large headpiece that includes a plastic horse head with antlers.

A man dressed all in white with a large fur coat is talking. Behind him is another man with a beard and a trench coat. He has his arms out and looks serious. Behind him is a woman covered in stuffed animals. She looks upset. Behind her is some clutter in the distance.

Upshot of a person covered in magazine pages. She is twisting in order to read from one of them. She has a large headpiece on that includes a plastic horse head with antlers. The lighting is starkly white and red.
