FOUNDATIONS

A factory above, a factory below. Two worlds, existing side by side - until someone crosses the boundary.

MJ is a human who is sick of moving boxes around all day like a robot. Pins is a robot who doesn’t fit into the underground. When they meet in the space between their worlds, they form a friendship that blurs the boundaries of human and machine. Are we becoming machines? Are machines becoming too much like us? Is there another possibility?

 

Originally performed in The Assembly Rooms Theatre in partnership with Wrong Tree Theatre Company, later performed at Underbelly as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Foundations is an experimental play about technology, love, and bad dancing, told through physical theatre and puppetry.
