“Confronting and provocative on consumerism and social media.” (2020 Audience member)
Into the Light is an immersive physical theatre show that takes the audience on a poetic journey into the world of consumerism and social media.
The performance explores the realm of connections and disconnections, by following the journey of three allegorical characters who are lured in and out of their cyber cave by the great goddess Google. There is only one ticket out of the place where human reality is virtualised and virtual reality humanised. Who is going to take it?
Inspired by Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and Greek mythology, Into the Light mixes physical theatre, dance, philosophy, literature, visual arts, music and digital media. It delves into consumerism, cyberculture, self-esteem, identity and acceptance themes and presents a metaphor for the social media generation we live in: an epoch of split, parallel identities, where body and place are abandoned for beings of light and words to be created. Our self-esteem boosted by a few clicks, our lives enlightened by screens of light.
Into the Light was developed as a collective creation by the members of the award-winning D.I.V.E. It premiered in 2020 at The Loo With a View in Mooloolaba, on the Sunshine Coast.
Director: Cesar Genaro
