MORE INFO: What if the solution to climate change, world peace, and self-love was the one thing no one wanted to talk about? From communal Roman toilets to the Queen who banished the bowel movement, Shawn "The Puru" Shafner unearths the origins of our dis-ease. In this stand-up comedy / TED-style lecture / character-shifting solo play, Shafner exposes how current sanitary practices threaten our health, environment, and 40% of the world still living without safe toilets - and invites us to get our sh*t together before it hits the fan. This event is appropriate for ages 12 and up.

Fascinating, hilarious and totally timely, How the Potty Trained Us asks us to take the plunge, join a revolution pushing for change from the bottom up, and proudly declare “I’m a pooper!”

FLUSH - THE DOCUMENTARY SCREENING

TICKETS: $6 in advance / $8 @ the door - LINK HERE
WHERE: Shout House @ 210 SE Madison, Ste. 11, Portland, OR 97214
FACEBOOK EVENT LINK HERE
MORE INFO: Flush: The Documentary is the surprising story of what happens after we “go," and a growing movement to change the way we think about waste.
Director Karina Mangu-Ward has a hunch that the unprecedented damage from Superstorm Sandy, the drought out West, and the future of our food supply have a lot to do with how we flush. So she gives herself a challenge: follow one flush from beginning to end. Flush is the story of everything that happens next, and the cultural, political, and corporate forces shaping the way we deal with bodily waste in America today. Runs 54 minutes. Followed by a panel conversation featuring The POOP Project's Shawn Shafner, Ole Ersson from Kailash Ecovillage, and other local sanitation experts.

The People’s Own Organic Power (POOP) Project has been using art, theater and education to break the potty taboo and catalyze creative conversation about sustainable sanitation for the person, planet and world community. Created in 2010 by New York-based artist Shawn Shafner, aka “The Puru,” The POOP Project has played to sold-out crowds in the New York International Fringe Festival (Award Winner: Overall Excellence in Solo Performance), the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival (“The most important show in the Fringe...ahead of its time,” The Scotsman), and at the United Nations for the inaugural World Toilet Day in 2013. In the past year alone. as part of the “Assume the Throne” tour, The POOP Project has visited over a dozen Universities across the US, worked with refugees in Greece, and performed in India. This marks their first visit to Portland. With production support from Katie McClenahan (of Beady Little Eyes puppetry), PHLUSH, and Kailash Eco-Village, this triple decker is sure to make a splash!
Shafner wants a global movement and, given his natural charm and bottomless capacity for scatological puns, he might just get one. - TimeOut New York

Public Hygiene Lets Us Stay Human > PHLUSH
Toilet availability is a human right and well-designed sanitation systems restore health to our cities, our waters and our soils.
Through education and advocacy, PHLUSH helps local governments and citizen groups to provide equitable public restroom availability and to prepare for a pipe-breaking seismic event with appropriate ecological toilet systems.
