Ego Machine

By Jayde Kirchert & Stu Brown

A work-in-progress showing on 8 July 2022
Studio Theatre, Gasworks Arts Park

A development performance of a new multi-disciplinary production exploring our complex realities amidts pandemics, climate change and increasing digitalisation.

About Ego Machine

Inspired by the ways the pandemic has warped and challenged our collective sense of reality over the last 2 years, Ego Machine defies genre, fusing physical theatre, dance, poetry, music, video art and more to try and understand how we are making sense of our realities in a pandemic ridden, climate changing, increasingly digitised, connected/disconnected world.

Ego Machine was presented as a development to audience members who were asked for their feedback after the performance and via an online survey.

Support

Ego Machine was presented by Citizen Theatre as Artist-in-Residence at Gasworks Arts Park 2022–23.
