Get Tix: We're giving away tickets to Mike Daisey's The Last Cargo Cult
 |
| livearts-fringe.org |
Another week, another Mike Daisey giveaway: We've got 10 (ten!) pairs of tickets to the Saturday, September 12, 8 p.m., showing of The Last Cargo Cult, Daisey's second Live Arts monologue.
Here's the scoop from the Live Arts/Fringe Web site:
Mike Daisey tells the true-life story of his time on a remote South Pacific island whose inhabitants worship America. There he lived with the cult, hunted feral pigs beneath the erupting volcano of Mount Yasur, and learned of the islanders' stories of belief, faith, and sympathetic magic. Part adventure story and part memoir, The Last Cargo Cult weaves these stories with a searing examination of the international financial crisis. From the belief in the infallibility of markets to the ultimate achievement in sympathetic magic —money —Daisey wrestles with what the collapse says about our deepest values. He uses each culture to illuminate the other to find —between the seemingly primitive and the achingly modern —a human answer.
To win tickets (worth $30 apiece), answer this trivia question:
What is the name of the tiny America-worshiping South Pacific island that Daisey visited before writing The Last Cargo Cult?
E-mail carolyn.huckabay@citypaper.net for a chance to win! (Side note: Make sure you can attend the 9/12, 8 p.m., show before answering, and please include your mailing address for our records. Thanks!)
[Update, 5 p.m., Friday]: Thanks to everyone who wrote in with the correct answer (Tanna, part of Vanuatu) — this contest is now closed! Have a great weekend and enjoy the show.
