Two people, a fish, a New York City apartment on top of a trailer bed, and you. Exquisite Corpse Company presents you with an interactive, immersive living diorama of 2020. Over the course of 35 minutes, the audience experiences an interactive, COVID-19 safe, live performance, and plays a role in dictating the way the story plays out. Linking moments of connection and loneliness with a surrealist twist, audience members peer inside a living room that is equal parts familiar and absurd as they experience a living room drama unlike any they've seen before.

The rotating cast features Jules Forsberg-Lary (Tampon Rock on iHeart Radio), Leana Gardella (The Lehman Trilogy at Park Avenue Armory), Vanessa Lynah (Trouble In Mind: A Celebration of Black Playwrights with The Barrow Group), and Starr Kirkland (TJ Loves Sally 4 Ever at JACK). The creative team includes Designer Emily Addision, COVID Consultant Zachry J Bailey, Intimacy Director Daniella Caggiano, Designer Dominica Montoya, Carpenter Sean McGrath, Lighting Designer Krista Smith, Costume Designer Matsy Stinson, Interactive Device Inventor Jesse Vance, and Sound Designer Ran Xia. The production Stage Manager is Allie Marotta.
