The Insect Trainer, an intimate collaboration with Salvador Dali. The late Timothy Agoglia Carey's , “The Insect Trainer,”  Sets up the the trial of the century, Guasti Q. Quasti becomes the first person in criminal history to be tried for murder, wherein his annus is found to be the lethal weapon. Quasti is not on trial, the Fart is. The playwright died before his work could be realized, but his son, Romeo Carey, picked up the mantle, directing, producing and starring in the new show at Heliotrope Theatre. And what a show. A queasy cocktail of Franz Kafka and Alfred Jarry, this juvenile farce has almost everything-- including laughs. Carey the younger plays Guasti Q. Guasti, a dishwasher with not-so-lofty ambitions to: 1) coach a cockroach to perform tricks, and 2) dance a tango accompanied by noises from his lower intestine. But first he must defend himself against charges that he killed a woman with his gas.  Timothy Agoglia Carey acted for Kubrick, Cassavetes, Kazan, Brando, Wilder, de Toth, Rafelson, and Wellman. He was also in Poor White Trash and Chesty Anderson, U.S. Navy. Francis Ford Coppola reportedly begged him to appear in The Godfather, parts one and two, but he refused; he was too busy shooting a pilot about women who clothe naked animals. He appeared alongside Elvis Presley and the Monkees, James Dean and Frankie Avalon, Lee Marvin and Mr. T. Between 1958 and 1962, he directed, wrote, produced, edited, financed, distributed, and starred in The World's Greatest Sinner, a film so inscrutable, hysterical, and obscure (one known print remains) that even its cult following has a cult following. He died while making The Insect Trainer, which would've been the first film ever to tell the story of a man incarcerated for murder by farting. He was Timothy Agoglia Carey, the greatest peripheral actor of all time. Excerpts from 1989, 1994, 1996 "The Insect Trainer" Funded in part be a donation from Martin Scorsese
