Mike Daisey is Coming for You (and You)
PICA brings monologist Mike Daisey back to Portland with a workshop of his new monologue, The Last Cargo Cult,
Saturday August 1 at 8 PM at the Wieden+Kennedy Atrium (224 NW 13th).
According to the press info, Last Cargo Cult “tells the true-life story of his time on a remote South Pacific island whose inhabitants worship America at the base of a constantly erupting volcano. In this riveting tale, Daisey explores their religion alongside our own to form a sharp and searing examination of the international financial crisis. Daisey wrestles with the largest questions of what the collapse means, and what it says about our deepest values. Part adventure story and part memoir, he uses each culture to illuminate the other to find, between the seemingly primitive and the achingly modern, a human answer.”
