The Carpeters!
Hard up, tired out, worn down
The Carpeters!
In Search of a celebrity, a party, an opening night
The Carpeters!
Confused, disorientated, they find a way
The Carpeters!
Marking out a bold red line of chaos and confusion
A bemusing ensemble roll and unroll red carpets, end to end, forever moving forward, endlessly looking for their non-existent charges.
In a constantly moving game of One Upmanship they must overcome the everyday objects in their path that hinder their eternally futile task.
Their progress creates collisions, comedy and chaos. Assistance is encouraged, confusion is guaranteed and celebrities instantly created. A bold red line is formed as we momentarily reimagine the everyday.
