Cover (with Geo Wyex)
Performance at Playbill at Torpedo Theater Amsterdam, NL
26 September 2026
For ACT ACT XVIII of Playbill, artist Geo Wyex invited the audience to an evening of covers on themes of visibility, drawing on his background in cabaret, joined by friend and collaborator Lili Huston-Herterich as Woosh, a dog puppet. Together, they drew on the history of Torpedo Theater as a former puppet theater. In a manner that is welcomed by the scale of Torpedo — in which the threshold between the audience and the stage is stransgressed with a mere stretch of the hand — Wyex rewored existing material as a way to stay in another form. The songs are linked through ambivalences around what it means to perform, envisaging a fraught relationship to visibility, one shared by Wyex. In a world of the hypervisible, in which visibility is often associated with truth, Wyex rethinks identity through attempting to meet each other — in song and in audience — head on.
