Britain's What's On Event Guide
For the Love of Spam
Winner of the Charlie Hartill Fund 2024, For the Love of Spam is a multi-sensory, participatory one-woman show dedicated to two things: canned meat and colonialism. Join CHamoru/Filipina theatre maker Sierra Sevilla to find out how this (delicious) canned meat symbolises modern-day colonialism.
In For the Love of Spam, Sierra brings to life her home island of Guam, and the people who live there. Using puppetry, movement and real on-stage cooking, this formerly Catholic, angry, and God-fearing woman strives to educate (and feed) the masses, all while 'liberating' her island. Sierra explores shifting immigrant narratives, Guam’s relationship with the US, and what it means to be caught in the crossfire of 'West vs East' political games that no one knows about.
