At night, in a town somewhere in South Dakota, years after a devastating flood. Houses and streets have been rebuilt. We are in the Rapid Motel, room 115, someone is talking. Let\u2019s call him*her AD. Extremely talkative, AD unpacks one story after another, offering entertainment. The mood changes when the monologue turns into a dialogue, the undertones of which don\u2019t suit AD at all. Sometimes witty, sometimes analytical, he*she navigates around his*her own worldview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who is this AD? Is AD passing through? On vacation? Or one of those residents who have missed the new start, permanently staying in a motel because they don\u2019t have the money for more? What we know: AD is waiting for a motel guest to return. And the longer the stay, the more the room develops a life of its own: it fills with images and sounds, times overlap, spaces blur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the interaction of acting, musical field recordings, documentary film sequences and deconstructed soundtracks, the American Dream peels itself off like an onion, exposing the confusion its promises generate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rapid Motel is like psychoanalysis, with the American Dream on the couch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
