Introspective ‘Campout’ Explores Braveness and Vulnerability

MEDIUM Magazine by Blake Weil / Sept, 2019

“The recent immersive theatre show Campout, staged in New York City, works a similar magic to The Haunted Mansion but on a millionth of the budget. It captures that same feeling and scales it down to two actors, two audience members, and a tent; the intimate experience of four people “camping” in a tent is somehow elevated to a lasting, emotionally impactful journey.

Let’s talk about the theme of “camping” for a minute. There’s dozens of conflicting, disparate activities and emotions that are conjured up by the mention of camping: the comfort of junk food by flashlight around a warm fire; the beauty of nature; the unknowable terrors that lurk in that same nature in the dark of night; the tingle of a ghost story told by the campfire. And that’s without even diving into any cultural and personal baggage associated with camping itself. Mass media leverages the image of camping in everything from horror film nightmares to nostalgic, end of summer and coming-of-age rituals. A simple activity on the surface, “camping” is a nuanced enough theme for any attempt to capture in its totality to be absurd….” (this is a short excerpt; the article continues in full length with great detail about the experience).
