A Machine They’re Secretly Building: An Interview for Switch Radio
Thursday Apr 13, 2017
Thursday Apr 13, 2017
In this podcast we consider an age beyond Big Brother by way of performance theatre piece "A Machine they're secretly building" from Proto-type Theater.
From what might be a news desk, an office, a bedroom, a bunker under a mountain
or a theatre, two people speak up, speak out, blow the whistle and lift the veil on
the insidious machine of surveillance. A Machine they’re Secretly Building charts a course from the Top Secret secrets of WWI intelligence (via the moon, 1972’s Chess World Championships, a disco in Oklahoma and the cafeteria at CERN) through to 9/11, the erosion of privacy, Edward Snowden and to the terror of a future that might already be upon us.
Thanks to MAC Birmingham and Pro-type for their support in the making of this podcast.
