Missing 411

​

MISSING 411: INTO THE VOID is an evolving interdisciplinary performance piece based in horror-comedy. Developed and performed as part of a creative residency at the Upper Jay Art Center (Feb 2020/21), its iterations have since been presented at Cincinnati Fringe Festival (Puffin Foundation Grant Recipient/May 2021) and Providence Fringe Festival (July 2021). In its original form, this piece blends live performance and projected film within a three-story building, using windows as visual sightlines and radio transmission to broadcast sound. The performers tell the story to audiences in parked cars from across a busy intersection in a global-health-dystopian take on the drive-in movie experience. Borrowing source material from the CanAm Missing Project and Missing411 community on Reddit, this piece parodies this world of disappearance through horror and physical comedy.​
