Statement: From Garmentia and Company, a solo show held at Club Impulse in Hollywood, CA where each costumed character came with an origin story. Garmentia’s superpowers are to be outrageous in any and all circumstances and to turn even the most innocent of events into scandal. Is Garmentia a super hero(ine) or supervillain(ess)? Such distinctions are meaningless nowadays.
