A space that is mostly used only for the purpose of exiting it is transformed into a subject of shared exploration. A parking lot is a space for people&#8217;s cars, not for the car owners themselves. What happens if the cars are replaced by humans? What if the rush to exit the space could be replaced with easy lingering? What will be revealed, and how does it alter our relationships to other people?<\/p>\n<p>The Other Spaces group makes performances investigating collective metamorphosis. This time the subject for metamorphosis is a car. Instead of admiring or hating cars as creatures that fill our world, the starting point is to recognize the fact that the modern human is a motorist. <em>Car Park<\/em> aims to draw out that person \u2013 the car person \u2013 on his or her own terms, to tell the wisdom they inherit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE PERFORMANCE CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING PHASES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Driving school:<\/strong> gathering and instructions outside the car park, learning the techniques of being a car person<\/p>\n<p><strong>Parking:<\/strong> moving into the car park and transformation into a car person<\/p>\n<p><strong>Waiting:<\/strong> studying the car park from a car&#8217;s point of view<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amusement:<\/strong> variations of being a car person<\/p>\n<p><strong>Car exhibition:<\/strong> returning to human form.<\/p>\n<p>During the performance the audience will stand or sit together, according to guidance from the artists.
