A NEW play at Bradford’s Theatre In The Mill explores surveillance and State.
The drama examines relationships between governments and individuals in an age of mass surveillance, on Friday and Saturday February 19 and 20.
In The Vice Like Grip Of It is devised by Ivo Theatre and combines physical theatre with text, watching a romantic relationship unfold in a domestic setting.
In the Vice Like Grip Of It watches a woman through the fourth wall of her home.
A camera hidden in a lamp next to her is projected across the room. When she speaks, her voice is caught by the microphone in her smart phone and amplified to the audience.
She opens her laptop and an image of her face flickers across the wall.
Web cam, medical records, google sharing, third party, consumer history; the scope for surveillance is so large that Ivo Theatre ask if this is a problem.
