half infinity: a semi-verbatim play about your QAnon relatives
November 16 & 17 @ 9:30 PM
Director/Playwright: Alex Oleksy
Dramaturg: Tess Walsh
"half infinity" follows a young man and his mother as they devise his senior thesis: a documentary play about right wing conspiracy theories. But when a rogue cameraperson begins to question the young man’s intentions and his mother's beliefs, the entire performance, and their relationship, threatens to implode.
Fusing fictional scenes with verbatim text from 4chan, 8chan, Reddit, Facebook, Youtube, and local news, "half infinity" investigates how capitalism and online chat rooms have transformed our neighbors, our families, and ourselves.
