"Listen up Teppo while I tell you a secret. How I have had it so well until now. Audiobooks. If you can't be bothered to read, listen. History is like a winding road in the wilderness, you'll always find a way towards other people, no matter how tenuous and creaky the bridge you have to cross."
An Rv Named Desire is a story of people at the crossroads of their lives at Isomäki Camping in Pori, autumn 2017.
It is the story of taxi driver Kari Metsäsimola's downfall that begins with the structural changes in local economy and has its finale played at the Camping, in an RV, Wagon de Désirée, the home of tango princess Merita Mäki and Kari's brother Teppo, whom he formerly knew as his sister Teija.
"I have always depended on the kindness of uniformed men."
An RV Named Desire is a wild and unpredictable tragicomedy about social identity, who we are under others' gaze, whom we try to be and what we are afraid to be revealed as. It is a play about work, love and the crisis of masculinity. You may hear some distant echoes of a certain classic American tragedy, but this play creates its own, wholly unique world and takes the viewer into strange, unexpected places.
