Description:
In seeking to explore how social media defines our reality, this play reimagines the story of Narcissus and Echo for the social media age. Weaving in Plato's allegory of the cave, we ask questions of the nature of the reality we glimpse through the screens of our phones. At what point does reflection become distortion and what is left behind as a digital echo once the screen has been turned off? How easily does the illusion of reality we see projected towards us consume and devour us – are we willing participants or slaves to the algorithm?
