Multimedia performance laboratory & theater ensemble @ the interwebz
We want to make art without assumptions – art that humanizes and entertains and challenges and brings people into conversation.
Julie, Kenny, and Miriam have been working together since 2007, under a range of different names and companies – most notably Vicious Trap, a catch-all moniker for our various interests.
Grapefruit Lab is the combined vision and multimedia intersection of our work. Grapefruit Lab’s name encapsulates our goal of combining highly-aesthetic, compelling artistic work embeded in our communities.
Grapefruit is a hybrid of lemon and orange. Snow is hybrid of wish and lament.

A modern, theatrical interpretation of the Catholic Mass – created by Grapefruit Lab and Teacup Gorilla.
Combining the sacrifice, transcendence, blood, and circumstance of the Catholic Mass with history, live music, science, dance, literature, and pop culture to find a wholly modern communion experience. What we have left is our selves, broken and battered, but surviving together.
She is a plain and pensive woman. He is a rather ordinary man who lives in an extraordinary house. This house does algebraic equations and plots violence. One evening, woman, man, and house collide; not all of them survive.
