The Verge – Wed 18 June 8.15pm, Thu 19 June 3pm & 8.15pm, Fri 20 June 8.15pm
Running Time: 45 mins
It’s Claire’s world, and we’re all just living in it. Ostracised from her family and entirely alone, Claire Archer navigates the realm of her psyche in pursuit of true happiness. Over 100 years on from its first publication, this intermedial adaptation of Susan’s Glaspell’s The Verge reveals a woman succumbing to a world of obsession, where her only friend is an AI bot called Eve.
Moving and darkly comic The Verge collides image, word, and gesture to remind us of what it is to be lost and what it is to be human.
