What does a delicious can of SPAM have to do with colonialism and Asian identity? CHamoru/Filipina artist Sierra Sevilla attempts to answer this in her hilarious one-woman show.
For the Love of Spam is a one-woman comedic stand-up, puppetry, participatory, and multisensory show dedicated to two things: canned meat and colonialism. We’ll find out how this (delicious) canned meat symbolizes modern-day colonialism, and threatens the very livelihood of a whole civilization in these ‘West vs East’ political games. Can this formerly catholic, angry, and god-fearing woman help educate (and feed) the masses, all while ‘liberating’ her island?
See it at ConFest on Friday, 5/24 or Saturday, 5/25 at 8:00PM.
If you have already purchased a full conference pass or a daily pass for either Friday or Saturday, you do not need a separate ticket to see this show.
