Imagine a car wash where no cars are washed. But all the mechanics are there – foam cannons, bubble machines and human water fountains – along with honking concertos, microfiber dancing, awe-inspiring acts, all part of CARABOOM, a splashfilled experience in a parking lot in the heart of downtown Miami Mar. 31-April 10.
“We are on a mission to scale joy,” says Miami-based multimedia artist and show maker Natasha Tsakos, creator of the Knight New Work. Audiences can experience the thrill ride from the Boom Zone for a global view of the show; the Splash Zone, if you’re feeling daring); or within the comfort of your car. Sixteen characters perform improvised skits, assemble seamlessly into choreographed routine, and activate the audience and passengers to collectively jazzercise, meditate and feel.
It’s real-time performance unique to each vehicle with a polished production value that shines through evocative dance choreography and uniquely color-coded fashion and enormous props. “CARABOOM is the much-needed boost of joy that we all need after two tumultuous years of pandemic life,” says Kathryn Garcia, Live Arts Miami executive director. “Live Arts Miami is thrilled to be a part of this extraordinary project that will bring some foolish fun into people’s lives while reinventing how and where performances happen in 2022 and beyond.”
CARABOOM runs on Thursdays through Sundays from Mar. 31 through April 10. Tickets from $35. Free parking for Boom Zone and Splash Zone tickets. Buy tickets here.
