mugwumpin's hit 2006 piece, super:anti:reluctant, returns in a brand new version to San Francisco for one weekend only, before traveling to Egypt for the Cairo International Festival of Experimental Theatre.

Using mugwumpin’s unique, kaleidoscopic approach to storytelling, super:anti:reluctant takes notions of the American Hero and turns them inside out, looking for what underpins our impulses to save or be saved.

"Let me say straight up, first off, and right away, super:anti:reluctant is f—ing great and utterly engaging and ambitious and pleasurable and you should all see it immediately."  —Maya Gurantz, www.tenredhen.com

"They're great action figures of the stage!  Always an act to catch..." —Ken Bullock, theater critic for Berkeley Daily Planet

mugwumpin is
headed to Cairo!

mugwumpin, San Francisco’s award-winning performance group, will represent the United States at the Cairo International Festival for Experimental Theatre in October. The festival presents the chance to increase awareness and understanding between nations and cultures.  It is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform in a unique setting, make contact with artists from all over the globe, and build opportunities to bring our unique work to other countries in the future.
