MOTHERLOD_^E
VENUE
by frenzy theatre co
Kill them. WooHoo them. Control them. Save them. How long can someone have control over a world before their dirty laundry is reflected back at them?
A work of theatrical grandeur that drags the audience inside of a Windows PC to experience a digital mashup of physical theatre, nostalgic game fantasy and unbridled morbid curiosity.
Our once avid teenage player is now a disillusioned adult. Watch her dictate sims’ personalities, sexuality and humanity, whilst our two-dimensional friends are confined to their single household.
Sims has helped a generation of queer players process uncharted thoughts they didn’t know how to voice. It created a sanctuary to try on different personas, and explore gender and identity. MOTHERLOD_^E is a dark unveiling of the tension between innocent exploration and the malevolent results of playing God unchecked.
