New Performance: "Super Vision"

BAM Harvey Theater in New York City is presenting a new performance is about several types of identity theft, put into story form.

Their description:
" The world is at your fingertips. Literally. A few strokes on the keyboard take you, virtually, anywhere you want to go, click by click creating a cyber composite of yourself. Every bit of data—credit card purchases, email messages, academic degrees, medical records—none of it goes away, ever. You’re there for the taking.

What if someone re-created himself out of all that detritus? What if he, essentially, took part of you?

Information anxiety, indeed, brought to you by the New York-based Builders Association (Alladeen, 2003 Next Wave) and multi-disciplinary studio dbox. Under the direction of Marianne Weems, whose unerring ability to tap into the zeitgeist gives her work a breathtaking immediacy, Super Vision explores how our identities seem to be increasingly dependent on, and constituted by, the cloud of data that surrounds each of us.

The production comprises three chilling stories: the machinations of a father who has co-opted his son’s digital identity; a data addict coping with her grandmother’s advancing senility; and a man who exposes more and more of his data in order to travel freely. Science fiction? Just hand over your credit card number and find out."
