Nowhere Town
Est. 2000
Population: 4


Once a booming location for nuclear testing and tourism, Nowhere Town quickly fell from greatness after an incident that cannot be mentioned. Written off the map, many fled the town hoping for better things, while some stayed. We see the lives of a money-hungry priest, an up-and-coming DJ, an ex-art school student and the town’s local hunter.

This work explores the relationship between place and identity and the closely intertwined relationship between the two. Through a lens of absurdism and humour, we begin to see the absurdities in these characters' lives and our own.
