WOW is a festival of interactive and site-inspired theatre that explodes conventional notions of theater in much the same way as Fringe festivals do.
The Playhouse describes its WOW festival as: “an invitation to reimagine what theatre can be through intriguing and playful experiences.”Past performances have taken place in the backseat of a car, on a basketball court and in high school classrooms. Its very design made it highly adaptable to the pandemic, which prompted artists to think even more inventively about working outside of conventional theater spaces and within the virtual realm.
"I am inside of the box, which is my set for the show that I'm bringing to WOW Fest at La Jolla Playhouse," Salerno said."So this is a two by three by three little box, and this is where I do the entire 90 minute show." "That limitation is actually a gift, and it helps you to create inside of the confines of an outline," Salerno said."So for me playing around in this little space has been just a godsend for my creativity and my imagination, because you think to yourself, 'What could possibly be in there?' But then it sort of spirals into what couldn't be in there. It could be anything.
That's why Salerno's show is less about telling a narrative story and more about"imagination, exploration, and joy and really pushing yourself to see the dark and the light that can come out of, like, real creativity. There are some through lines, some themes. But if you come into the show with an open mind, I think that's the best way to sort of absorb this experience."
