What if you had the power to build your own human being? What character traits would you choose? Would you always make it tell the truth? Would you give it the ability to question your own authority? To feel guilt? Pain?
The Science community in Canberra is fascinated, schools can't wait, the public service and arts sector are itching to see what they create, and we want to know what YOU think!
When you call to book your ticket you will be given a code that will allow you to log onto the net and begin building. You are the parents! The choices you make on-line will directly influence the character you’ll see on stage and screen!
Premiering in the nation's capital and then staged in cities across Australia, we want to let the powers that be know what kind of beings the gay community of Canberra will create!
On Friday 3 August @ 6.00pm we want you to come to the Street Theatre and create your ideal being. Tickets $25 Group booking discount (10 or more) $22 BOOKINGS: 02 6247 1223
About Emergence
Emergence is a unique and daring new interactive work by Synarcade Audio-Visuals where audiences are invited to build their ideal human being, live in the Street Theatre. Take a peek at the trailer. Incredibly fun and engaging, it is a ‘choose-your-own-adventure’ experience that combines immersive theatre, live cinema, a giant talking head, and interactive technology where no two shows -or two beings –will ever be the same!
We are on the verge of a new mode of existence where we are no longer largely passive to our own genetic evolution, but active in its creation
- writer and director Mark Bolotin.
Book early and you’ll be given a code that allows you to be part of this unique phenomenon right from the beginning. Log onto www.buildyourownbeing.com with your 3-digit code to begin making important decisions about what being you’d like to see ‘emerge’ in the show
Emergence Being-Building Forum (free)
5.00 pm 4 August 2007 at The Street Theatre
The Emergence Being-Building Forum occurs at the end of each season of the work in each city and serves as a grand culmination and exploration of the choices audiences have made for their ideal human beings. Have they decided to create more honest human beings? More controlled? More logical? More contemplative? Ones without any guilt? Based on the results from the experiment, the Moderator leads a lively discussion and debate with the audience about what character traits were chosen and why. In an age where art is often catching up to science, the forum is a unique chance to discuss important topics in an engaging, light-hearted way.
