……………………..

A man departs for the U.S.–Mexican border and vanishes. Amarillo, Texas is the destination he never arrives at. Through stunning projected imagery, bilingual monologues and a sea of displaced objects and natural elements, his journey begins to emerge. His actions, identity, and probable schedule are recreated in a multimedia performance that travels imagined landscapes of both geography and cultural identity. The absent man takes on multiple faces and names, as he comes to symbolize the thousands of disillusioned travellers who have suffered a similar fate. Amarillo touches on the complex nature of individual and national identity in a time of exodus—both for those who leave, and those who are left behind.
