About This Show
Dora award-winning company Theatre Gargantua presents the culmination of two-years of development with the world premiere of its seventh completed theatre cycle, e-DENTITY, written by Michael Spence, and conceived by Jacquie P.A. Thomas. Exploring the rapid and complex ways human interaction has changed since the advent of cyber communication, this ground-breaking production integrates text, movement, original music, live-internet webcasting, on-line chat and technology-based interactive projections.
What happens when you go on-line? What are the rules of engagement in the shifting digital landscape? On-line, being yourself isn’t exactly required! Five performers play in a virtual world as the audience surfs through an internet experience. From the anonymous and fractured banter of chat rooms and taboo-free blog communities to the unchecked success of internet match-making, the internet is perhaps the ultimate forum for the expression of human need. As technology presses forward with lightning speed, e-DENTITY explores the internet’s prolific development and our own human evolution.
