This Place is a Desert She wants to disappear into the landscape but settles for an affair. It doesn’t help. She feels worse. This is a play is about wanting to feel worse; a motion portrait parody of human loves and human emotion increasingly diminished. This Place is a Desert. See the action in fragments—through windows, reflected in mirrors, through partially-drawn curtains and projected live onto a wide screen looming above the stage architecture. A lone cinematographer careens through the wreckage of bankers and writers, nuclear disasters and nuclear engineers—all of them accidents that might better have been avoided. Partially seen and partially screened, four lovers demolish each other in an attempt to defy their irreparable loneliness.
