About the Project
A late-twenty-something year old man and his underage girlfriend sit in his car and try to communicate despite the realities of power, age, and taboo that exist between them.
Audience members watch them from inside their cars, listening to a transmission of the would-be-lovers’ conversation.
They can listen as closely as they like. They can catch the finer points of the drama on a projection screen, where there are larger than life close-ups of the lovers.
What ensues is an exploration of communication, transmission, space, identity, and, of course, cars.
Part theater, part drive-in movie, part car-wash, and part radio experiment, The Car Show re-examines the idea that the world will remain familiar, remain separate, and that, as spectators, we will be the ones traveling through it.…And it is all available to you from the comfort of your own car!
Note: Audience members should know their cars will be washed with them inside them. If this makes you uncomfortable— claustrophobia, what not— we do not recommend the Car Show.
The Car Show is for adult audiences.
