Presented by RedLine Denver in partnership with 40 West Arts, No Place to Go was an artist-made haunted house where sociopolitical fears manifest in an immersive world. A collaborative project directed by Serena Chopra, Kate Speer and Frankie Toan, No Place to Go was a pandemic-safe, interactive, multi-site car tour in Denver’s 40 West Arts District and Wheat Ridge.
NP2G ran Thursday through Sunday evenings, October 22nd-November 1st, 2020
For out-of-state folks or for folks who preferred to enjoy the experience from home, Virtual Reality tickets were also for sale and were released in November 2020.
Or you can watch a 30 minute video that summarizes the 90 minute experience here: No Place to Go Documentation Footage, filmed by Carlos D. Flores & Julie Rooney and edited by Julie Rooney.
About NP2G: The installations and performances of NP2G merge the absurdist storytelling of dance-theatre with interactive visual art installations to create environments where the audience can examine and embrace the interaction between fear and desire.
Each installation is a fantastical realm designed by some of the boldest, emerging, and mid-career artists in the seven county region: nolan tredway, Michaela Mujica-Steiner + Emily Marie Passos Duffy, Moe Gram, Nicole Anona Banowetz, Hayley Krichels, Hayley Dixon + Renee Marino, Chrissy Espinoza + Grace Cooper, Steven Frost, and BAGBAYSHA (Chris BAGley + Koko BAYer + Thomas ScHArfenberg). Composer Mike Clark and app designer, Bryan Costanza are teaming up to bring the immersive experience to life with a script written by Serena Chopra and Kasey Ferlic, and narrated by actor, James Brunt.
