1. The Automobile Graveyard And The Two Executioners
A pair of absurdist dramas that confront the machinery of power and punishment: in a desolate junkyard of wrecked cars, fugitives and misfits seek love and sanctuary through blasphemous rituals and fragile tenderness, only to be crushed by colluding priests, police, and profiteers; in a bourgeois household, domestic tyranny molds ordinary people into instruments of state violence, exposing how obedience, spectacle, and cruelty feed one another. Through grotesque humor and dreamlike imagery, both plays probe the erosion of innocence under authoritarian pressure and the thin line between refuge and prison.
