Mental Missiles: A Political Review

Mental Missiles, directed by Liz Swados, is a dark, satirical revue filled with irreverence and disrespect and featuring songs, monologues and scenes that are meant to go for the jugular of all parties, politicians, capitalist icons and media maniacs. The revue is a way to speak about what’s going on in the world without being cutesy or catering to a crowd. No one is spared. And the music is as strong as the words, with many styles, from cabaret to the most contemporary rap and rock.

Twelve performers step up onstage with attitudes that are meant to tease, provoke and make you laugh. And since not all the news is hilarious, a good dose of dark irony is injected into the night. The rehearsed show is supplemented by nightly guest artists invited to do their art, song, rap, rant or dance on a chosen issue. And each night has a new piece written that day, confronting the most immediate news and gossip.

Mental Missiles is aimed at creating an evening that breaks through the dumb silence which is suffocating this culture! And it hopes to be as entertaining and funny as can be – without self-seriousness or pedantics.
