American Carnage: A Love Story
American Carnage: A Love Story is an unlikely love story - part sci-fi and part thriller. The play introduces “YML”, an octobot from an evolved species who is accidentally exposed to echoes of late Second Millennium popular culture which triggers feelings he didn't expect to have. American Carnage: A Love Story was written and directed by Aimee Greenberg and produced by fruitlessmoon theatreworks. American Carnage: A Love Story premiered at the City Heights Performance Annex, November 9th through 26th, 2017.
"Greenberg is as much its director as its choreographer, stylizing everywhere she can amid the piece’s wholesale potential for kinetics and its linguistic disparities, which range from quasi-Elizabethan dialogue to postmodern voice.
The technical look and feel has its day too amid backdrops from West Side Story and Luciano Pavarotti’s Pagliacci, colored with references to 19th-century Norway’s Edvard Grieg and our Jefferson Airplane a hundred years later. What might at first seem like a battery of randomized thoughts is a highly original plumb." ~Martin Jones Westlin for San Diego Story~
