A surreal ensemble play set at a gas station where time fractures and people vanish.
Set at a Circle K gas station off Interstate 40 in the American Southwest, the play unfolds in a space where ordinary routines begin to fracture. Couples abruptly separate, customers disappear after entering the bathroom, and time and geography appear unstable. Rumors circulate that the site may be connected to decades of nearby scientific experimentation, raising questions about causality and control within an otherwise mundane roadside stop.
Developed through ensemble research, debate, and playwright-led improvisation, the work blends speculative physics with intimate human encounters. Theories of free will and quantum uncertainty are staged through contrasting scales of performance—ranging from expansive dance sequences to quiet, emotionally charged exchanges—placing cosmic inquiry alongside everyday relationships in a single, shifting location.
