Electronic City
2016 & 2019 | New Stage Performance Space Written by Falk Richter Translated by Marlene J. Norst Directed by Ildiko Nemeth“As Director Ildiko Nemeth challenges our notions of space (measured in gigabytes) and (screen) time hungry for our eyes, she delivers a frenetic e-story across a backdrop of globalization.”
By Broadway World, Derek McCraken
Electronic City is a multi-media theatre piece and a romance like none other. Set in the liminal spaces of modernity, the lay follows characters Tom and Joy as they seek belonging, connection, and meaning amid transient lives pressured by long-distance travel, instant communication and constant commerce. With New Stage Theatre Company’s signature flair for beauty, darkness and humor, the show will explore the isolation and alienation of our image-saturated culture using a dynamic mix of interactive projection, choreographed movement, bold design, and Richter’s compelling text.
