A Curated Exit

Shot in the Dark Productions—Asper Centre for Theatre and Film-U of W

I don’t get it. That speaks generally to shows across all media, movies, series, and plays. My partner ‘gets it.’ When we watch ‘twisty’ shows, she gets the theme early on. Me? Even after the thing ends and the revealer exposes everything, I often still question her, “What the hell just happened here?”

Here I am again. Throughout this show, I keep rolling through my mind, “what’s happening? What are we doing here? This is so fragmented; what’s going on?” They bring up the concept of drinking wine straight from the bottle, and I wonder if some bottle-wine would help me out.

Yes, I get it at the end and it all makes sense but it takes a long time to get there. For those who ‘get it,’ super. You would probably follow the show and enjoy the developments throughout. For people like me who don’t get it, it’s a long run before breaking the tape at the finish line.

What if you could design your death experience? A Curated Exit is a dark comedy about grief, technology, and one woman’s desperate attempt to stay in control as her life unravels. Featuring a sheet-covered corpse and memories of a husband who refuses to stay out of the conversation, this world premiere asks what happens when we try to optimize the one thing that refuses to follow a plan. Come for the aesthetic endings. Stay for the worst Monday of Zoe’s life.
