Carpetbag Brigade, Bad Unkl Sista The Study of Soft & You don't know Jack

CounterPULSE
San Francisco, CA

The Carpetbag Brigade and Bad Unkl Sista present two kaleidoscopic double-bill evenings of fun, disturbing physical theater and Butoh.

In "The Study of Soft", featuring live music by Totter Todd (of Heavyweight Dub Champion), Pym (iampym.com) and F'kir Elderfae (Bad Unkl Sista), Bad Unkl Sista fuses multi-genre dance forms, live and original produced music, art installation, video and couture costuming into a continually evolving Butoh-based performance experience. For 2010 Bad Unkl Sista has begun a year long study of soft, and brings a different show to CounterPULSE each night.

The Carpetbag Brigade's "You don't know Jack" returns to CounterPULSE taking a Jungian twist on "Jack and the Beanstalk" with a dash of PTSD to create a surreal, comic tragedy of an alcoholic dead man and the shadow of his wildly dysfunctional family. Inspired by Robert Bly's "The Sibling Society", this funny, nightmarish fairy tale is a potent brew of physical theater, dance and a live musical score created by the ensemble cast.
"The Carpetbag Brigade of San Francisco are a company not to be ignored; and they're presenting this most extreme and mind-blowing of all the shows on this year's Fringe about the damaging impact of war." The Scotsman, Edinburgh, UK, August, 2008
