Kamikaze Cutesauce: Cosplay Club MKE

Quasimondo's cosplay epic returns to Milwaukee this August for 3 shows only, then hits the road for The New York International Fringe Festival. Don't miss this Limited Encore Performance!

Tama, Tokyo Prefecture, Kamata Junior High. Life is tough for class rep, Suki Morihoto. Tests, Phys. Ed., clubs, peer pressure, bullies, creeper teachers, and that strange transfer student from Kyoto who dresses funny, and won't stop staring at me in study hall, what's his problem? Oh, there's also saving the world.

Cosplay, short for costume play, is a performance art where participants dress as and embody a specific character or idea from popular culture, including fantasy, science fiction, video games, cartoons, and comic books. A global phenomenon, cosplay has inspired a generation to shed the shackles of their lives for brief forays into the fantastic, intergalactic, and supernatural.
