Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, America, Kuwait takes place in the not-so-distant future; two American soldiers wait at a worn-down outpost in the desert. Hot and bright. Hallucinatory hot. The world has been ravaged by war, its natural resources stripped, and it is no longer clear if there is an enemy left to fight or anything left to fight for. They wait. For orders, provisions, a sign of life. For rescue. Even for death.
The production will feature set design by Raul Abrego, costume design by Tristan Raines, lighting design by Joel Moritz, sound design by John Zalewski, projection design by Dave Tennent and violence and dance choreography by UnkleDave’s Fight-House.
