What's in a mustache? Bits of food, memories, barried scars from yesterdays shaving incidents. Join performance artists Eric Rubin, Wyndy Wynazz, and Michele Michete as they help you remember YOUR first time open-mouth kissing a poet's mustache.THE TROUBADOUR'S MUSTACHE: Cue the music. A pouty Spanish troubadour needs, no DEMANDS all of your attention. What follows is a fusion of looped sounds, beatbox, hip hop/freestyle, storytelling, improv, metal guitar riffs and Eric's awkard bird-like dancing. In 2014, Eric waved bye-bye to the bureacratic monotony of Washington, DC and embarked on a journey that would become the GREATEST journey ever journeyed upon. He created deep pools of sweat in a Burmese monestary. He chased that experience with a heaping glass of hedonism at the Thai paradise "The Sanctuary," where liver cleanses and acid tabs are consumed interchangably. He fell for a Swiss ice queen, an Austrian shamaness, and an especially cold bowl of coconut ice cream. What happens when you unwind your personal narrative at 35? The voice of doubt, confusion, regret, and siren songs of lives we might have lived grow strong. Eric will strive to reassemble the puzzle pieces and slay the voices beneath the lights of SAFEhouse Arts. Odd, yes. Strange, sure. Groundless, Maybe. Somehow universal? ...I'll get back to you..."I don't understand WHAT this is? What's wrong with him? Is he 'all there?'" -Concerned audience member.The Troubadour's MustacheBy Eric Rubin Directed by Dan GriffithsOpening Acts by Wyndy Wynazz and Michele MacheteWednesday-Thursday, July 26-27, 2017$15-20 Ahead of Time LINK: $20 CASH ONLY at the doorABOUT THE ARTISTS: WYNDY WYNAZZAn award-winning variety arts performer (2014 Best SF Comedienne/Bay Area Dance Watch), director, and actor based in the Bay Area.
