You just had a fight with a family member. Blinding rage was summoned and vicious words were thrown, and you feel like no one left the ring getting what they actually wanted. You are now alone, in your room, rewriting the script inside your head. If you said this, they would say that, etc. But what if your rewriting doesn't end there? What about the break-up you had; the one that felt like the end of the world? What about the asteroid that will cross paths with our planet, one that's truly the end of the world, and we were too busy making the wrong choices to prevent our mutual destruction? room/in/nation is as interactive and anti-disciplinary of a performance as real life is, playing out differently each performance. Starting with small, mundane choices than catapult us towards our fate, room/in/nation has multiple pathways and unique endings determined by improvisational choices made by the performers and checkpoints you the audience have to face together. Hopefully, we all make the "right" choice. Or at least, break the cycle of regret in our heads. Run Time: 50 mins

About FringeArts
FringeArts presents world-class, contemporary performing arts that challenge convention and inspire new ways of thinking. FringeArts is Philadelphia’s home for contemporary performance, presenting progressive, world-class art that expands the imagination and boldly defies expectations. Our programming exposes audiences to genre-defying performances and installations by accomplished and emerging innovators who push the boundaries of art-making and redefine the artistic landscape worldwide. Each September, the organization presents the annual Fringe Festival, a 3-week celebration that fills the city’s neighborhoods with more than 1,000 curated and independently produced performances. Year-round, FringeArts presents an equally compelling line up of performances at its state-of-the-art venue on the Delaware River Waterfront—a renovated historic building that also houses La Peg Restaurant & Bar and Haas Biergarten. This line up includes Blue Heaven Comedy Festival in February, High Pressure Fire Service—a series of new works by local artists—running March through June, Hand to Hand Circus Festival in the summer, and additional programming for late night and outdoor events in Haas Biergarten throughout the year. As a catalyst for cultural and community development, and a destination that brings artists and audiences together, FringeArts is central to the city’s vibrant arts community and the enrichment of the lives of those who reside, work, and visit here.
