GLENN MARLA

“Mother Flawless” Puppet Design

Glenn Marla is an artist whose work focuses on themes of body liberation, gender, fat, shifting cycles of trauma, and writing new narratives to replace the ones that are oppressive. It is Glenn’s goal that their work amplifies a voice in the world that is most often quieted, dampened, or disregarded. Amplified through performance and puppets, Glenn’s is a voice that attempts honesty, humor, and vulnerability. Mx Marla has made puppets for their original plays and performances Scarcity Freezer (IRT Theater) and The Wild Unwanted with St. Ann’s Warehouse Puppet Lab. Glenn is always thrilled to collaborate with Taylor Mac. You may have seen him as Poppy Flower in The Lily’s Revenge, a Dandy Minion in A 24-Decade History of Popular Music, or Sexual Consent Santa in Holiday Sauce. Glenn Marla is honored to have his Mother Flawless Sabrina puppet as part of Bark of Millions. You’re the Boss Applesauce!
