We all know that our data can be bought and sold. The trail of personal information, purchases and preferences we leave across the internet becomes the bedrock for targeted advertising. But could such data be put to more creative use? London-based theatre company Any One Thing is doing just that, and has produced two intimate shows that innovatively use technology to personalise the experience.
The current show, Tristan Bernays’ SOUVENIR, is a surprise party — and it’s hosted in one audience member’s flat. The play morphs into a disturbing look at grief, digital legacy, virtual reality and how technology affects our ability to let go. Think Black Mirror made flesh.
Any One Thing’s: Souvenir is taking place at various venues across London and new dates will continue to be released. Tickets are £34 to be placed on a wait list and £57 to guarantee a place.
