THIRTY-THREE
PERCENT JOE

Welcome to the collective of cybernetic units that currently comprise approximately thirty-three percent of the biological unit known as “Joe.”

Joe is a terrible soldier. He dreams of dying heroically in battle, but his cybernetic body parts are determined to keep him alive. Join Cerebral Command, Spleen, Lower Intestinal Tract, and Joe’s other replacement parts around the boardroom table as they do whatever it takes to protect Joe from the frontlines of a war-ravaged midwest and his overbearing mother, Delora. See Joe’s world through his cybernetic eye – rendered through puppetry, silhouette, and projections. Workplace comedy meets futuristic war epic in this sci-fi adaptation.

Based on the short story “Thirty-Three Percent Joe” by Suzanne Palmer.
