Cooler
Synopsis:
Gary Winter's Cooler is an abstract play about a group of people who live in a cooler under a mysterious but palpable oppressive force. their language has been warped and the rules of their society have been confused, and they struggle to reconcile their desires and impulses with the chilling environment they find themselves in. the play operates in an almost dream-like state as the characters experiment with language, will, and the nature of oppression-both external and self-imposed. Incorporating a fluid design that will change night to night, depending on the imPulse of the artists involved, audiences will enter a cooler filled with artifacts of our shared past, memories glimpsed, a false nostalgia and a soundtrack that, while familiar, feels remote. Cooler draws inspiration from a variety of sources including Bruno Shulz, Kurt Vonnegut, Grand Guignol, cowboy songs, Irene Fornes, and George Orwell; and was sparked by Winter's despair during the Bush years over the collapse of checks and balances and the failure of the mainstream media to report truthfully.
