Expedition uses the surrealist tool, an exquisite corpse, to explore the ideas of Birth, Dreaming, Friends, Kissing, Love, Magic and Immortality. Random subjects from the general public participated in unrehearsed storytelling moments playing from only the segment in the narrative chapter that came directly before theirs. The intimate and spontaneous nature of the project allowed participants freedom to be themselves or fictionalized characters - or both. The arch of each chapter proved to be personal, fantastical, comical and even heartbreaking at times. Bringing strangers together to make an absurd, artistic statement, Expedition takes you on an unexpected journey exploring archetypal moments of life.
