Sassitude Maskostume
Trash Mash-Up is a part of a tradition of socially relevant, popular theatre. Bringing vitality to the community, Trash Mash-Up concludes with the Mash-Up Bash, a public pageant. Street theatre is art for the masses. It knows no boundaries and is accessible to all. Changing the sense of space, street theatre interrupts routine by creating an unexpected event.
Street theatre is also used as a means for political activism. This was most prevalent in San Francisco during the 1960s counterculture movement with the San Francisco Mime Troupe and The San Francisco Diggers.
Created by used compact discs, the Sassitude Maskostume is a physical representation of the movement predominate in the Bay Area today -technology. This Maskostume uses bi-products of this movement and is accompanied by colored nylons and old stove tops to represent the fast paced nature of today’s high-tech world where people are on the go and so are their meals.
