le mille-pattes humain
“So let me tell you how all of this started… It began with me researching the Hecatoncheires – the hundred-handed giants of Greek mythology. I leapt at once to acquiring a box of 100 latex gloves. That done, I got thinking about other hundred-limbed things, and arrived at centipedes, and probably because I’m reading Angela Carter’s Nights At The Circus (her novel about a woman who is part-swan), I decided I’d undergo a metamorphosis of my own… which is ultimately why I dressed myself in a sleeve of inflated rubber gloves and assumed the character of Le Mille-Pattes Humain – celebrated side-show entertainer of yesteryear.” February 2024
