February 6-March 6 2010

The Gallery of Contemporary Art (GOCA) and THEATREWORKS are proud to host the world premier of the ENTIRE Autoteatro Series by Rotozaza, a UK-based performance group. Three works make up the series: ETIQUETTE, GURUGURU and WONDERMART.

There are three distinct events that occur in three different locations.  You may try one or all three. 

• Etiquette.  $25 for two. At Shuga's downtown.  Make a reservation for two, or show up and shanghai a date.
• GuruGuru.  $50 for 5. You must have 5 people.  Less than five and we can't let you try it.  Located at the Plaza of the Rockies.  Price includes a $20 gift card to Nosh.
• Wondermart.  $5 per person. For one person.  You pick up the mp3 player and travel to either the Bon Safeway or Whole Foods.  Stand outside the store and press play.  

I have questions.  Who do I call?  Call our box office at 719.255.3275.  We'll try to help.

Etiquette by Ant Hampton and Silvia Mercuriali

Etiquette is a half-hour experience for two people, presented at Shuga's. You wear headphones which tell you what to say to each other, or to use one of the objects positioned to the side. There is a kind of magic involved – for it to work you just need to listen and respond accordingly. Etiquette is theatre at its most raw; it is live, insightful, philosophical and incredibly unique. The participants are both the actors and the audience, and the show offers the fantasy of being able to speak without having to think what to say.

You have been told what to do every moment of the day, for years on end. The voice in your headphones has understood who you are and gives instructions which mirror what you’d be doing anyway. A life free of dither and uncertainty! In your job, this voice is a career-saver… but the day has come when you need to come ‘off the headphones’. You need help.

Please note.  GuruGuru must be experienced a with a group of 5.  Tickets are sold only in groups of 5 ($10 per ticket, $50 total).

Wondermart takes a mischievous swipe at the dominance of supermarket culture and consumerism. This interactive audio tour takes you on a journey of rediscovery through the familiar surroundings of the supermarket. Wearing headphones and anonymous behind your shopping cart, you are guided around the aisles immersed in a private world, as the carefully constructed soundscape overlays a fictional world that blurs the real with the imaginary.
