Flamingo/Winnebago

Two travelers take to the road as the planet reaches its tipping point. An Indian immigrant, disillusioned with his world, disappears into the American West in a Winnebago. A young man hits the road searching for his past at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. Roadside attractions and rest stops include: New Mexican pueblos, the Wigwam Motel, Route 66, RV parks, the Las Vegas Monorail and Korean Karaoke. Flamingo/Winnebago explores the planet’s tipping point: the excessive use of energy in the U.S., peak oil theory, and the rapidly changing weather. A sequel to El Conquistador! (2005), Flamingo/Winnebago is part two in the Lucidity Staircase Intercontinental’s Americas trilogy.

Flamingo/Winnebag is presented as part of the Live Arts Festival.
