A high-concept, low-budget performance art piece wherein two weirdly-in-sync people hide behind a drop-down projector screen in a bar—usually in front of a bench or wall, ideally a soft padded one, creating an intimate speakeasy/tatami-like setting. Sometimes participants stick their feet out from under the projection screen, silently suggesting to onlookers that they’re making out. Bonus points if you leave your wallet unattended and the staff has to rescue it like it's a lost child at a carnival.

An attempt to reclaim the word "awful" to mean full of awe. Feel free to express this notion using the word awful just remember when folks hear you say something is awe-full without living subtitles, you may have some explaining to do!
