28. Bad Activist, Part I : Philadelphia Fringe Festival 2017

Humble Mumbles

Welcome to the (first part of the) second version of Bad Activist: Sex Politics, Palestine and YOU… or maybe version 2.5. A play, by Humble Mumbles

Narrator: Who is this girl? [enter Bad Activist] I met her in Palestine but she’s not Palestinian. She’s an American. An American Jew. … the star of this play and also my heart.

Bad Activist: The energy here is so topsy-turvy, so extreme of high and lows! I keep trying to flirt with people!….. but they’re too busy narrowly avoiding death. I get that [pause] It’s more inappropriate to be attracted to someone’s nationality than their body, right? More fetishistic?

Narrator [to audience]: I assumed she was joking so I didn’t answer her, not then, not now.
