Junebug

An audio performance for all your senses. Junebug immerses you in a hallucinatory soundscape where reality and fantasy seamlessly merge. Theatermaker Anna Verkouteren Jansen blends theater, cinema, podcasting, and a hint of fairytale-like wonder into a fully immersive experience. In this film, the screen watches you.

June lives an invisible life in a cabin deep in the Southern U.S. Surrounded by forests and her beloved Angel, she spends her days watching TV—until the signal begins to glitch. With static on our heels, we race through an American dreamscape of TV psychics, takeout burritos, foggy motel rooms, and ghosts from the past.

With surround sound and cinematic storytelling, you’re submerged in June’s world of escapism, grief, Mariah Carey, and empty rooms. So many empty rooms. Junebug shifts reality just enough to show what’s moving behind the curtains: a world you can’t see, but you can definitely feel.

Anna Verkouteren Jansen:

“When I first encountered death as a child, I turned to fantasy to cope with the emptiness. Over time, escapism became second nature. In Junebug, we watch June disappear into television. Her new-age mom Barb calls TV psychic Magic Tina every week, and Tina—well, she mostly believes in transactions. I find it deeply moving how people create stories to make sense of life’s randomness.”
