The Last Car on Earth
-the very Passion of D. Moore vs the Automite
The Last Car on Earth -the very Passion of D. Moore vs the Automites by Bembo Davies (Canada/Norge) is Shakespeare recycled into a parable of life at the end of the age of internal combustion. Dismantling the great tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice into a pile of spare parts, Bembo Davies and Steven Bush have assembled a refreshingly new play from the pen of the famous Bard.

Familiar words and poetry remain but, are now lavished upon a living, breathing motor engine. The text now illuminates a man’s deep passion for his first love - his car. The brandished sword gives way to the welding iron. Musical accompaniment is provided by Asbjørn Sundal on his home-made ‘propane tank marimba’.
