OAK to OK features cumbias from the Berkeley Rep production of Octavio Solis' Mother Road. Set design by Tanya Orellana w/ a truck built by the scenic team & speakers installed behind the grill. Truck didn't drive but sat on a turntable & spun, so cumbias bumped & spun round the room like a Leslie.

2 musicians performing onstage with lots of electronic music equipment strewn across 2 tables. 2 audience members in the foreground, a neon sign reading Eli's Mile High Club in the background. Purple lighting.
