San Francisco Mime Troupe

Analy High School
Sebastopol, CA


The San Francisco Mime Troupe, in their landmark 50th Anniversary season, presents a recognizable tale of greed & commerce, "TOO BIG TO FAIL," told in their trademark style of biting satire coupled with catchy musical tunes. Framed in the tradition of the West African Griots, or storytellers, this modern day epic follows Filiji, a man in love with his family, his village, and most of all, his goat, Bamuso. What more could a man need to be happy? How about two goats? Three? A flock? Turned down for a loan by the village micro bank, Filiji, now the self-proclaimed Goat Lord of Kanabeedomo, borrows from a new lender in town, a small subsidiary of a much bigger bank in a distant, mystical land called Wall Street. When the economy takes a sudden turn for the worse, the bank gets desperate and calls in Filijis loan. Housing is down, credit is down, dividends are down, and like any Ponzi scheme, a constant flow of cash is essential, but where will it come from? Is it simply enough to let Filiji pay his small debt, or have the Wall Street big-wigs stumbled upon the latest, greatest investment bubble to exploit  goats? How will Filiji save himself and his collateral, the beloved Bamuso? Can America be shifted to a goat economy? How did all of the greed get started, and more importantly, how the hell can we turn it off?


Live music will start a half hour before show time.
