Machine World Gospel

 

A tragic event splits the play into two separate worlds, each realm exposing human significance as subjective. We watch a marathon of characters perform selfish and meaningless gestures as they struggle to express themselves artistically or in an attempt to acquire power in a powerless universe. David Commander and his cast play with puppets, live action, pre – recorded footage and chroma key technology on a stage of moving screens to drag the audience through a series of ugly truths.
