CAR
CAR is a movement installation for three audience members at a time, that takes place in and around a moving vehicle. Using the landscape of car culture (parking lots, garages, gas stations, streets and drive-thrus) audience members move and are moved through a series of movement and video installations that inhabit the at once private and public space that is a car. CAR investigates the body of performer/driver, the body of witness/passenger, and the body of the car itself. CAR explores how we communicate when we are in-cased in a small piece of metal that can speed, stop, lock us in, blow us up, or crash at any moment.
CAR will premiere at the 2008 Philadelphia Live Arts Festival in September.
