STARWEAVER
Event description
It began with a satellite. Now the night sky is heavy, whizzing and whirring, and no one has seen a real star in over a generation. Capitalism is infinite, and legacy is bought and sold. The stars have become lonely. And vengeful. Something has to change.
Following Cato, an AI engineer turned revolutionary, Starweaver grapples with difficulties of overthrowing an unfair system and the thorny moral dilemmas of direct political action. Starweaver uses a futuristic lens to examine issues that matter right now, diving headfirst into a world of unfettered capitalism, revolution, entropy, memory, chaos and, ultimately, hope.
Starweaver is an urgent and unforgettable science-fiction epic, brought to you by the multi-award-winning theatre makers at Madness of Two.
