‘I want you to know what’s happening…’
From what might be a news desk, an office, a bedroom, a bunker under a mountain or a theatre, two people – reporters, senators, freedom fighters, or just… well… concerned citizens like you – think about what it is to speak up, speak out, blow the whistle and lift the veil.
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 the terror of a future that might already be upon us.
It is about how we got to the point where our governments are spying on us and how that’s changing who we are.
Andrew Westerside is co-artistic director of Proto-type Theater, a company of multi-disciplinary artists who have been making and touring original performance work in the UK, the Netherlands, Russia, China, Armenia, France, Zimbabwe and the US since 1997. Critics have called their work 'an intriguing brush with altered reality' (The New York Times) and 'enthralling' (Zambezi News).
