MEDIATHEK

Live Guy, Dead Guy is a piece in two acts for 4 performers.
 The two acts are in some ways connected, but in most ways not. Each are alternative ways of looking at a similar set of problems.
 
 The work is concerned with issues of digital identity, how we connect with each other in a digitally mediated and visually orientated world, and the neo-liberal aspirational shift away from physical labour to disembodied digital labour.
 
Each act of the piece takes filmic tropes as the basis of the performance aesthetic.
 
The piece is designed to be performed in small intimate spaces, such as a domestic living room or small venue. Ideally the piece should not be performed on a raised stage, and should have the audience packed in closely.
 
At the premiere, all audience members were supplied with industrial safety eyewear, to protect against any shards of crockery.
