Theatre Works: Control
29 October @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm AEDT

A slick sci-fi odyssey exploring humanity’s desire to dictate how we are perceived by others.
In the not-so-distant future, a heavily pregnant ex-ballerina, a child detective, a bitter puppeteer and a feminist pop princess hurtle towards Mars in a Big Brother-style spaceship. The world is watching. Isn’t it?
On the eve of a revolution, Nicki and Caroline attempt to gain control over their lives as their AI superior Alex, dances the night away.
And on New Earth, Esta and Isabelle forge hope through a new kind of relationship.
Director Olivia Staaf draws on her background in science communication and ecological performance making to realise Control as an experiential voyage for audiences.
