A woman in a white shirt sits cross-legged on the floor, looking despondent. She has a coffee cup in front of her.

Written in collaboration with the incredible Ellen K. Graham, the show takes place behind-the-scenes in a museum nature diorama. Join Carroll and Glenn as they painstakingly re-create a moment in the lives of three animals. Working on this outmoded intersection of science and art, they are confronted with their own humanity. Being alive among the dead – real among the fake – can be taxing.
