| Abstract: | The Depraved Appetite of Tarrare the Freak is a unique fusion of puppetry and contemporary chamber opera detailing the story of real-life 18th-century French medical anomaly Tarrare. Wattle & Daub collaborated with pathologist Dr Alan Bates, award-winning playwright Hattie Naylor, internationally-renowned pianist and composer Tom Poster, Bristol University's Medical Humanities programme, and an academic advisory panel. Through a darkly compelling yet riotously enjoyable show they explore the rise of the autopsy, and its influence on the medical model of the doctor-patient relationship, through the case study of a medical 'monster' and the doctor who treated him. |
