Live film scene

An audience member is invited into a black Mercedes-Benz… She or he is an extra in a film… The main actress sits with them in the back seat… After some light makeup and a few instructions, shooting starts… Action… They take a ride around the streets of an imaginary city… A laptop is given to the extra… She or he is asked to act in a film…The movie shows a loop of various car scenes from Italian movies including breakups, separations, tearjerkers, little dramas, and the occasional death… Life inside a car seems to be a miserable experience… The main actress re-enacts the scenes from the laptop movie simultaneously, verging off the original films and creating a concert of melodramatic sounds… Handkerchiefs are required… Cut!

With Irene Coticchio and Yosi Wanunu
