No Place to Go

Presented by RedLine in partnership with 40 West Arts, No Place to Go is an artist-made haunted house where unrealized fears manifest in an immersive world driven by choice-making and the horror of the binary. A collaborative project directed by Serena Chopra, Kate Speer and Frankie Toan, No Place to Go is a pandemic-safe, multi-site car tour in 40 West Arts District and Wheat Ridge. The work merges 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). Given the new era we are in, No Place to Go unhouses our fears, re-imagining the performance structure to support physical distancing for both the artists and the audience: dispersed sites across Jefferson County, a sound score by Mike Clark to accompany the audience as they drive between sites, an integrated app by Bryan Costanza to create a contactless experience, and a virtual reality option for audiences to experience the work from the safety of their own home. A mask must be worn at all times when outside your vehicle. The mask must cover your mouth AND nose. Keep your hands to yourself. Refrain from touching the installation, artwork and anyone working on the show. Observe social distancing at all times. While the show is designed for social distancing, please be mindful of maintaining a 6’ distance from others. While many of the installations are viewable from your car, outside in plain air, or through windows, a few installations invite or require you to enter an enclosed space to view. Entering an installation is at the discretion of the audience. The following measures are in place for your safety: Audience and performers must wear their mask; Do not touch artwork, objects or performers; Be mindful of car pods ahead of you by giving space and waiting your turn to enter (show attendants will be present at some locations to assist with spacing out the audience); Respect and maintain the distance established between performers and audience
