Driving in Circles is a hybrid live performance documentary film written by Jay Eddy that takes an intimate, autobiographical look at the aftershocks of childhood sexual abuse: the little earthquakes disrupting a survivor’s personal relationships, physical and mental health, and fragmented sense of self. Set to Eddy's sometimes-whispering, sometimes-screaming folktronica score, the play unfolds like a road movie, mapping the storyteller’s sometimes-funny, sometimes-painful journey through the body mind-altering landscapes of trauma towards something like happiness.
