Kansas City Fringe Festival - How to Be Cool

Neil Bhandari

How to Be Cool is a solo show, written and performed by Neo-Futurist Ensemble Member Neil Bhandari

Bouncing and shape-shifting from monologue and dance to live music and cultural anthropology, exploring themes of insecurity, idolization, identity-making and self-mythologizing- all in the impossible pursuit of COOL under the artificially-muscled arm and flimsy-yet-ever-imposing specter of American masculinity.
