Los Angeles Premiere
Will Eno
The sun has set. Night has fallen, perhaps for the last time. Journalists arrive in locations throughout the city to report on this disaster-of-darkness. As they search for newsworthy content to fill their televised program, the Governor offers us encouraging and valiant words to sooth our broken spirits. All seems lost, yet the reports must continue. If they don’t, they will have to accept that the worst possible scenario has become a reality: the sun will not come up, and there is nothing left to say. “TRAGEDY” reflects the most absurd moments of Bill O’Reilly, Anderson Cooper, and the like, while also speaking to a universal fear of nothingness.
