Architecting Mission DriftArchitecting
(workshop production 3LD Art & Technology Center, NY, 2008) From a condemned bar in post-Katrina New Orleans, to the mythical South of Gone with the Wind, to a lonely gas station in Arkansas, Architecting is a multi-media road-tripping requiem for modern America. Ghosts of American prejudice haunt a play, that questions whether this country has ever recovered from slavery and the Civil War. Aggressive athleticism is combined with wicked humor, video crashes against song, and at the center of it all stand humans confronting the world as it changes radically under their feet.

Top of PageMission Drift
Mission Drift is a pioneering journey across the USA in pursuit of the soul of American capitalism, created in the blazing heat of a Las Vegas June. Told through atomic blasts, lizard ballet, and original music that fuses Las Vegas glitz with Western ballads and Southern blues, it features two interweaving love stories: the epic saga of an immortal teenage Dutch couple as they travel west from Amsterdam to New Amsterdam in 1624, all the way to modern-day financially devastated Las Vegas, and the intimate portrait of a cocktail waitress and a cowboy grappling with the 2008 recession and their crumbling American dreams. Over it all reigns Miss Atomic, a seductive storyteller/singer inspired by the 1950s beauty pageants celebrating the bombs tested in the Nevada desert. She is the symbol of creation and destruction, bankruptcy and bonanza, and this profoundly unique American city..
