Emily Climbs (Machine Méchant)

Emily Climbs (Machine Méchant) imagines a future looking back on a past that is still in our future. Through a collection of performed materials (stand-up routine, excerpts from a one-woman show, journal entries, interview transcripts, found documents, and role-playing scenes) the show explores the person-hood of Emily Climbs: a failed science-experiment, a devoted companion, a benign provocateur, a socialized woman struggling with the burden of individualism and the American Dream.
