SUM - The Camden Fringe Festival

31/8/2015

A world that will change the concepts of self, of others, of love, of death...
This is just the pilot.
Following the pioneering technology of the new hivemind, we follow the stories of six women in their experiences of this new life. Who will thrive and more importantly, who will survive?

SUM depicts characters who have entered this contract to share these minds between them in a much more intimate way than the illusions that our social media now provide. They question concepts that we have accepted since time began – love, birth, war and loss – and still manage to find their own journeys despite the information that has been shared. Who is the pioneer of the technology? Who will use it for good (whatever that means in this reality), and who will use it to further their own ends? Should everyone be able to connect?

Performed at The Etcetera theatre as part of the Camden Fringe Festival.

CAST
Carrie/Lan - Lydia Kay
Syne - Melanie Crossey
Sam - Rosie Akerman
Pi - Tess Hardy

SUM

7/12/2014

Hiveminds are becoming increasingly in vogue at the moment – and maybe the more specific question we should be asking is “what is happening in our world to make us think this” rather than simply “why”.

SUM depicts characters who have entered this contract to share these minds between them in a much more intimate way than the illusions that our social media now provide. They question concepts that we have accepted since time began – love, birth, war and loss – and still manage to find their own journeys despite the information that has been shared. Who is the pioneer of the technology? Who will use it for good (whatever that means in this reality), and who will use it to further their own ends? Should everyone be able to connect?

Performed at The Bread and Roses theatre.
