Meet the circus comedy duo that combines the physical antics of Charlie Chaplin, the wild imaginative world of Willy Wonka and a raw creative energy all of their own to perform a show for audiences of all ages.

Known as Figmentally, Drea Lusion and Eric Parthum are back again for their third year at the Fresno Rogue Festival.

Introducing an all new 45-minute show titled “Miss Fitts,” Lusion embodies the title character, a seamstress whose days are filled with her endless imaginings of inanimate objects coming to life, blending surrealism with reality.

Parthum plays the unsuspecting Sir Tinnly, a kindly patron simply looking for new clothes from Miss Fitts. Together they’ve blended acrobatic dance and artistic juggling, with a touch of puppetry and a big scoop of exaggerated hilarity for quite the unique viewing experience.

“We write all of our stuff for adults,” Lusion said.

“Miss Fitts” is more for adults, in that it is more nuanced and weirder than their previous shows, Parthum said. But kids get a kick out of it just the same, making it a family friendly fringe show.

“Miss Fitts” took only two weeks to create, or three years depending how to you look at it, Lusion said.

Before Figmentally, Lusion had been doing solo work in the circus industry.

“In the circus world, everything is very ‘plug-n-play,’” Lusion said. “You just kind of show up and do your thing. But we had more imagination for wanting to control a whole world. I really wanted to paint a whole picture for an audience and bring them into our world rather than just be inserted. I was tired of being in other people’s shows.”

Admittedly, she doesn’t take direction very well and wanted to write her own shows, Lusion said.

Lusion and Parthum joked that when they met, they actually did body isolation head movements at one another before they even spoke. It didn’t take long before Lusion offered Parthum the chance to collaborate.

“I had lots of dreams of objects moving and coming to life and I never saw that show,” Lusion said. “I basically said, ‘Eric, do you want to write a show with me or do I have to find somebody else?’ He said, ‘Fine.’ And this is our third show.”

After being in the studio for two weeks, they put “Miss Fitts” together quickly because of how well they worked together after three years. They also made it using notes from the previous show and scenes that had been imagined but didn’t make the cut, Lusion said.

“The style, the kind of world and the surreal blend of skill sets is something that is more common in European circus theater,” Parthum said. “It’s less common here. For us, that’s why our show is genre defying.”

The genre-defying nature of their show has won Figmentally “Best of Fringe” awards two years in a row at the Nugget Fringe in Grass Valley, California, and three “Sold Out” awards at Nugget Fringe and Fresno Rogue.

Lusion and Parthum do everything themselves. They direct each other. Parthum is a graphic designer and handles all the flyers and posters. Lusion makes all their costumes. Together they write and produce the shows. This show was the first time they commissioned some props to be made for them, Lusion said.

Last year, Lusion hand-made a chair costume that hid Parthum inside. He brought the chair to life, reminiscent of the furniture in “Beauty and the Beast.” The chair as a character was sassy and silly, refusing to let Lusion simply sit and read. The bit was a showstopper and had audience members howling.  

With the chair in tow, the duo had the unique opportunity to perform in an international festival in China. The Chinese Acrobats Association gave Figmentally the chance to travel across the world and perform their comedy routine on a giant stage.

The duo has dreams of making Figmentally their full-time job. The level of professionalism and deliberate execution they operate at has them well on their way, they say.

Figmentally only has two more shows at the Rogue. Catch “Miss Fitts” Wednesday March 6 at 6 p.m. and Saturday March 9 at 9:30 p.m. at the California Arts Academy in Tower District.

Tickets are $14 at the door or online at fresnoroguefestival.com. Entrance to the festival requires a one-time $3 Rogue wristband, which can be purchased at any Rogue venue.
