Puppetry Of The Penis
''Puppetry of the Penis'' is a comedic live performance-art show featuring a series of genital contortions. The show was initially conceived as the title of a highbrow art calendar released by Australian Simon Morley in 1996. The calendar showcased twelve penis "installations" (the manipulation of male genitalia into a variety of recognisable forms). In response to increasing requests for live demonstrations, in 1997 Morley enlisted fellow Australian, David "Friendy" Friend, to devise a performance show consisting of body-based genital comedy. The show involves two nude men who bend, twist, and fold their penises and scrotums into various shapes. The theatrical contortion of the male genitalia (penis, scrotum, and testicles) accompanied by comedic narration has since spread internationally. It is humorously termed "dick trick" or "genital origami," referring to the flexibility of the human penis, testicles and scrotum. ''Puppetry of the Penis'' was first performed on stage at ...
