About this show

An experimental smell-o-vision play following Mr. Hollywood on a drive that may or may not be an escape. What begins as a simple act of leaving unfolds into a surreal, multi-sensory journey through memory, desire, avoidance, and inevitability. A blend of audio collage, projected visuals, live performance, and an evolving sequence of scents guide the audience through as external landscape and internal psyche collapses. Campy, poetic, and deliberately disorienting Nose Country for Old Men is like a late-night radio show that is as much about running away as it is about being unable to escape.
