Le tour du Chat

Dr. Stoichemaan’s Basement is a hidden world of invention and obsession — a private collection of puppet cats and other peculiar companions assembled over decades — a glimpse into one man’s devotion to the beautiful strangeness of his handmade friends.

STChM’s The Pointy Nose Chronicles, a series of comedic sketches inspired by the Chaplin-esque humor and silent film style of the 1920s. Each sketch follows the escapades of “The Pointy Nose Man”—an exaggerated character with a proud, pointed nose and matching sharp shoes, whose inflated ego and self-importance inevitably lead to a series of absurd and slapstick mishaps. With physical humor, expressive body language, and no spoken dialogue, the sketches embrace the timeless appeal of silent cinema while satirizing the quirks of ego and vanity.
