The Deadline Project

Written by Joshua McNutt and Tishé Fatunbi | ArínọláTheatre
Two people sit side by side in the middle of an empty theatre with red and black seats. Their faces are blurred in motion, creating a ghostly, disorienting effect. One wears a light jacket and shorts, the other a black t-shirt. The lighting is low, adding to the eerie, surreal mood.

Are you important enough to be remembered?

As the end of the world approaches, two grieving musicians record their music and answer psychological questions for an AI model built for human preservation, all while they question their motivations, relationships, music and grief.  

A soft sci-fi folk musical full of quiet apocalypses and loud emotions, this is Once meets Black Mirror for anyone who feels like they are living at the end of the world.

Developed at Dublin Fringe Festival Studios. Supported by Gorilla Design with Dublin Fringe Festival.
