This Is All I Need closes THIS WEEKEND!

"Highly kinetic and engaging... Four dynamic performers...muse, proclaim and act out variations on the things they possess and that, in different ways, possess them...  "Need" is a nonlinear pastiche,...at times provocative and often very funny."  --Rob Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle (Read full article here)

"...incorporat[es] grace and darkness, tongue-in-cheek wit and a real sense of relevance in these recessionary times..."  --Kimberly Chun, San Francisco Chronicle (Read full article here)

This Is All I Need 

What is your most prized possession? What can you not live without? How many pairs of nail clippers do you own? Why are you still holding on to that scratched pair of sunglasses that you can't even see through? You're an ascetic; you're a collector; you're a hoarder. Perhaps it's time to have a little conversation with your belongings about just who owns whom.

In This Is All I Need, Mugwumpin, San Francisco's kinetic and acclaimed performance company, digs through closets and cupboards to untangle and retangle the threads connecting our hearts, our anxieties, and our stuff.  Employing their giddily precise physicality and fractured approach to storytelling, Mugwumpin explores these connections from numerous angles, from the ways that our belongings become physical repositories for our most potent memories, to the fine boundaries between collecting and hoarding, to the psychosocial motors driving the contemporary urge to accumulate. 

This Is All I Need is Mugwumpin’s Marquee show for 2010--in other words, it is our performance created for a theatrical venue for this year.  All our performances this year—both the Marquee show and our Occurrences, or performances for non-theatrical venues—connect to the year’s theme, Possessions.
