It's set in the metropolis of rats beneath our feet—a 1970s New York-inspired neon underworld lit by a perpetual crescent moon—and follows our hero, Rat Girl, as she uncovers a vast conspiracy that threatens the fate of her world. Merging body puppetry, tabletop rod puppetry, overhead projector shadow puppetry, and mask, The Undercity navigates unchecked greed, climate catastrophe, and the engineered hopelessness of industrial life—a gnarly web of rat tails only our hero can untangle.---
