I love the smell of gasoline

Claren’s Dad worked in Albertan oil and gas and also the world is ending because of climate change, and sometimes, it’s hard to hold both. As deeply personal as it is deeply researched, the play picks apart why it’s so hard for her to let go of fossil fuels — all against a backdrop of whimsical projections masterfully executed live on stage by a team of analogue overhead projectionists.  The project was born of a frustration with divisive Canadian politics, rampant hypocrisy, and a lack of team spirit when facing impending doom. It unpacks some of the forces that drive global warming and Western alienation in a personal account of what it is to live in a modern, capitalist environment, be a self-serving organism, and also care about the earth and fellow creature kind. What does it really mean to sacrifice and to survive? How can we harness our agency and responsibility in a global crisis?  Creator, Performer, Co-Director, Projection Designer: Claren Grosz  Co-Director, Production Dramaturge: William Dao  Production Stage Manager: Taylor Young  Projectionists: Elyse Waugh, Caleigh Adams and Liz Der  Original Set and Lighting Design: Echo Zhou  Set Installation Artist: Jessica Hiemstra  Set and Lighting Associate: Alison Yanota  Composer: Christopher-Elizabeth  Dramaturgical Support/Consultancy: Cherish Violet Blood Consultant: Michelle Robinson  Special thanks: Thank you to Theo Belc for technical support. The production features projected drawings courtesy of the talented Emily Jung. The performer has been styled by Ami Blaxland. I love the smell of gasoline has been developed with dramaturgical support from Andrea Donaldson, Cherish Violet Blood, and Keshia Palm. Premiered in 2023 with Elyse Waugh, Jesse Wabegijig and Stephanie Zeit as projectionists and collaborators and their participation helped shape the visual score of the piece.
