Charlie Victor Romano (CVR for short) is a 'performance documentary', which is basically a documentary presented like a play, although there is something a little strange about this particular play. CVR is a documentary that derives entirely from the cockpits of six planes that were doomed to crash, where the dialogue of the pilots was recorded.
The reason that this theater company wanted to perform the final moments before the planes crash is because they believe people are curious as to what the real, final thoughts of someones life must be. In fact, the people behind CVR state that they believe people are especially curious when it comes to planes, because every time they fly somewhere, they put their lives in the hands of complete strangers! So, what is it these strangers think about when they realize they, and their passengers, are about to die?
The play was sold out for eight months straight, and has been considered a massive success and is constantly praised by the aviation community. In fact, the play has been used to educate pilots in training for the US Air Force!
