Manifest Destiny is growing old atop a mountain of trash, the byproducts of obsessive consumption and discarded collections; she waits for a new frontier to conquer, to save herself from what she has become. Meanwhile, a surveyor and a scavenger undertake a journey to find and conquer the frontier for themselves—only to discover that it has become nothing more than a heaping pile of junk. The Endless Frontier is a magical, experimental musical journey following two fool-hearty adventurers and a demigod who all seek open space within the collapse of the American West. Brimming with old-time neo-folk songs, set against a giant mountain of junk, The Endless Frontier explores the notion of consumption and expansion amidst a shrinking open landscape.  Using text, movement, puppetry, and original music, this piece will take you on a ride through the heartache of the old west and back out again.
