In the dusk light of a field, a row of cars are parked facing an empty frame, their radios tuned to an FM broadcast. As the radio announcer interviews a radical poet about the end of the world, a spectacle emerges from the nearby trees. A sunflower opens its eye, a raccoon strikes up the orchestra, and the world outside of our vehicles creeps into our consciousness through sound, image, poetry and song. Dancing in the interplay between dusk and night, hope and grief, The North Barn Theatre Collective contemplates the consequences of a pandemic, our interrelatedness to the non-human world and our collective stumbling into the unknown, both together and apart. Late Night Radio is a new puppet theatre spectacle, experienced as a drive-in performance, allowing audiences to witness live theatre in a socially distant format.
