Celebrating 67 years the Tony winning San Francisco Mime Troupe (SFMT) new show WRECKAGE: A Musical Tragicomedy runs July 3rd through Sept 7th in the Bay Area for free & open to the public unless otherwise listed. Wreckage addresses the political question about our survival & rebuilding the rubble left from the economic, social & psychological devastation of the idiotic kleptocrats. The 4 person cast includes veteran SF Mime Troupe collective members Michael Gene Sullivan (Security, Nestor, Bobby, Paul); Jed Parsario (Gideon, Business Man, Bertrand, Karl, Lance); Keiko Shimosato Carreiro (Stage Manager, Mari, Jeribeth)& Chloris Li (Felicity, Business Woman, Fredericka, Claudine, Sergeant Nicola, Mari’s Mother). Wreckage: A Musical Tragicomedy questions is it just us or does it feel like everything is falling apart with hallucinating robots, economic collapse, protesting frogs & people praying for the End of the World. Wreckage was written by Michael Gene Sullivan, music & lyrics by Daniel Savio, directed by Lisa Hori-Garcia with music direction by Daniel Savio & Will Durkee. When asked why call yourself a Mime Troupe if you talk & sing, SFMT stated, “We use the term “mime” in its classical & original definition, 'The exaggeration of daily life in story & song.' It is a form of popular theater that is as old as the marketplace itself. From the ancient Greek & Roman farces to the Renaissance commedia dell'Arte to modern Chinese Opera, using archetypes comically to illustrate people's issues is a time-honored worldwide tradition. Our broadly drawn characters are instantly recognizable allowing the audience to immediately engage in the action. Our work is political satire & anything but silent.”
