This Is All I Need

Description

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.
