GHOST RIDE or the play that blows away

Overview

GHOST RIDE or the play that blows away is an immersive performance that puts the audience on bicycles, following a food delivery worker into the afterlife. The piece is a love song to the bicycle that addresses issues of bicycle safety and transportation justice, as well as being a meditation on life and loss.

The play will be staged on a 3 mile ride along a protected bike lane on MLK Drive in Philadelphia. Audiences will pedal alongside the protagonist as the narrative unfolds on bike and at stops along the path.

Bring your own bike or rent an INDEGO bike! Discount codes available for INDEGO riders!

Limited pedicab rides available for audience members who don’t ride a bicycle. If you would like to reserve the pedicab, please email: ghostridefoh@gmail.com before you purchase a ticket to ensure availability.

About the Artist

Agile Rascal Theatre is a company that utilizes the creative potential of the bicycle to advocate for environmental and transportation justice, and explore our relationship to the land, our bodies, and each other. In other words: WE MAKE PLAYS WITH BIKES.

Forged in the fire of the very first cross-country tour of an original play on bicycles in 2015, we have been working ever since to intersect our two favorite things - art and bikes.  We do this by touring original shows, slowly and sustainably on bicycles, and by creating immersive works in which the audience rides on bicycles as the show unfolds on and off the ride.
