In one of OWS’ most creative tactics, the guerrilla street-theater musical comedy “Mr. Satan Goes to Wall Street” debuted in Tampa, Florida at the RNC.
“Mr. Satan Goes to Wall Street” is an incredibly ambitious project, involving a full cast, musicians, and a documentary film crew tracking the production from NYC to Tampa through Charlotte and back to NYC.
In Mr. Satan, Satan is laid off from Hell because humanity has become too adept at doing evil. To get his job back, Satan makes a deal with neoliberal economist Larry Summers to break up Occupy Wall Street. But the love between two young OWS activists might shake the Devil’s allegiance. What would Satan do? Our answer: He’d sing!
There’s nothing else like this project: it’s comic entertainment with serious political content, and the whole thing is a saavy activist tactic. What better way to revive a movement for social justice than musical theater!...
"Mr. Satan" is a hardworking anti-hero antichrist who has been laid off due to hellacious budget cuts. He finds himself obsolete in a world where humans have become self-sufficient at doing evil. "After all, Steve Jobs, who earned millions off of slave labor, has been made a saint". To win his job back, he must restore the balance of good and evil in the world, sorting out the many motives of the Democrats, Republicans, Union Organizers, Occupiers, Anarchists, and Lovers. Who will Satan side with in order to get his job as Chief Evil Officer of Hell back?
