Superamas
Big 3 rd episode
James Maxwell
The show was hot! I completely understood that the performance was exploring deep wounds such as failure and death, and the messages were done in unique ways. But I walked out of the Superamas show turned on. I mean when you put 5 shirtless guys playing guitar while the leading lady touches herself to the sounds of Nirvana the audience will get excited.
All of the scenes of the Big 3 rd episode were entertaining and kept my friends and I on the edge of our seats. The show just made me want to go out and party which is exactly what I needed on a Friday night. Later in the evening, after a few cocktails, we even tried to re-create the dance off scene but both my cousin and I pulled something while trying to imitate the high kicks.
The cast was not only very attractive but also very talented and could have kept my attention if they wanted to repeat the scene another hundred times. Even though all of the grinding and nudity were my favorite parts of the performance I have to credit to the creativity behind the car crash scene. Using only lights and sounds the creators of the episode turned a sexy dance party into an eerie and devastating situation. The on stage scene was simplistic but still very powerful.
Superamas was a rocking good time that used sexuality, repetition, humor, and vanity to showcase life messages that anyone could relate to. Oh, did I mention that the show was hot!

Why do I get the feeling that the Superamas people would be really bummed to read this review?
because you are over-analyzing.
I second Matt. There’s a reason they disrobed, and I don’t think it was to give the audience boners. I personally found their nudity conspicuously not “hot.” I’d be interested, James, to read why you think “the performance was exploring deep wounds such as failure and death.” And I say that sincerely, not as a challenge. I’d love for you to respond with your thoughts on those themes and others.
Looking back on my blog and do see where both of you are coming from, and I could go into more detail about the underlying messages in the show. However, I am a pop culture junkie and I am planning on going to grad school to study the subject and eventually get my doctorate in media studies and for me I was just excited to see such a fun loving show that I think could appeal to a much larger audience base then a lot of other TBA performances. Do not get me wrong I definitely loved to see so many different artistic views and performances through out the festival this year, including performances like Superamas and Our Hit Parade that did a great job exploring more of the pop culture mainstream, and again it was HOT!
