Brava Guava Presents Open Source Intelligence and Counterinsurgency for the Jobbing Hater
This hilarious new comedy follows a woman with anger issues as she stalks another woman to feel better about herself. Lili is emotionally over-literate. She’s gone through every single psychiatry textbook, WikiHow page and subreddit dedicated to anger management. Somehow, no amount of reading or talking could tame her urge to undermine people’s self-confidence and break furniture. After one particularly intense outburst, Lili decides to try a different approach... This unpredictable three-hander charts one Chinese woman’s convoluted journey towards healing with anime music, puppetry, Shakespeare and Muay Thai. This is a story about generational trauma and the absurd and cyclical nature of recovery. Presented by Brava Guava, “Open Source Intelligence... ” at The Space is a longer, fuller, even more unhinged version of the 4-star reviewed production at Brighton Fringe.
