Team Sunshine Performance Corporation (TSunPCo) presents its inaugural production, the world premiere of Punchkapow at Underground Arts at the Wolf Building, November 11-14 and November 18 - 21. TSunPCo's company members Benjamin Camp, Makoto Hirano, and Alex Torra (of Pig Iron Theatre Company) present a play about fantasy violence and how much fun it can be. Inspired by action movies, comic books, anime, and video games, Punchkapow is a sweaty, hilarious, and unique look at powerless people in search of their superpower.
Everyday life, it often seems, is filled with a niggling tedium, a lack of clear rules, and with games of personal negotiation and compromise. In a fantasy world, simplicity reigns, good and evil are clearly defined, and at the end of the day, justice wins outâ¦every time. TSunPCo explores how individuals wrap themselves in a cocoon of disillusion and fantastic distraction, taking a leap from the mundane to the imagined, and then slipping, joyfully, into the violent. Punchkapow promises stunning physical acting and kickass fights as two dudes explore their brutal relationship in a world of ninjas, villains, and epic battles large and small.
ABOUT TEAM SUNSHINE PERFORMANCE CORPORATION
Team Sunshine makes and performs original devised physical theatre works through its own brand of collaborative play-making and writing. The result comes in the form of live performance events that are hilarious, dark, and surprising.
The company's pieces are rooted in an exploration of a life that is undeniably American, squarely placed in our culture and our time. TSunPCo's collaborators are concise and multi-faceted creators, who work as performers, directors, designers, writers, and builders, and who are focused on upending theatrical convention to create shows that explode and leave a kind of tragic joy on the walls. With character and charisma, actors aggressively pursue the kind of pinpoint moments that steal breath from the audience.
Simply, we will place a little awesome in everything.
