Description:

“Pasta for War” satirizes a 1930s propaganda newsreel. It begins with fresh pasta marching towards the podium. There, the Great Dictator orates. A young recruit envisions formations of dive­bombing bow-ties flying above columns of ravioli tanks, while he wades through marinara sauce to battle against utensils at the bot­tom of the sink. The realization that he may die ends his fantasy, but his comrades march ever forward to their impending doom: a towering pot of boiling water.
