(From left) Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, played by Larry Underwood, gives the audience a lesson in human dissection while Sister Luyt, played by Meghan Strell, challenges the ethics of the procedure in Corpus Delicti: Just Desserts, which recently played at the School of Medicine. Chicago-based Local Infinities Visual Theater, which puts on the play, makes a life-sized cadaver from gelatin and uses fruits and vegetables for organs, including a cauliflower brain, pomegranate heart and bones made of gnarly parsnips.
