fruitlessmoon theatreworks to Premiere AMERICAN CARNAGE: A LOVE STORY at City Heights Performance Annex

fruitlessmoon theatreworks will present the world premiere of AMERICAN CARNAGE: A LOVE STORY written and directed by Aimee Greenberg opening in November 2017 at City Heights Performance Annex in San Diego.

An unlikely love story - part sci-fi and part thriller . .  . AMERICAN CARNAGE: A LOVE STORY pulls back the curtain on a future where high technology manifests organically within humans and manufactured beings.  The play introduces “YML” from an evolved species who is accidentally exposed to echoes of late Second Millennium arts and culture which trigger feelings he didn't expect to have . . . how else could an octobot know a song he has never before heard?  Delilah and her brother are in the Badlands desperately trying to evade the Guards sent from a narcissistic mad leader who has a blind and seemingly devoted daughter - it’s a tale of alternate worlds examining the idea of what is human, where are boundaries when senses have been removed. The surprising sweetness of YML as he navigates from one world to the other is encouraging and touching . . . can experimental beings cross over to a world of feeling in a society where feelings have been lost?  AMERICAN CARNAGE: A LOVE STORY presents a dystopian look at a future 

Based in San Diego, fruitlessmoon theatreworks is committed to producing original and established works in both traditional and unconventional spaces.
