ELYSIUM

A near-future two-act play about an inventor and his wife whose behaviour-changing technology divides those who embrace a new movement from those who defend their independence.

The official programme describes a new two-act play set in the near future. An inventor and his wife prosper from a government-patented technology that alters behaviour, but the technology creates a rift between people joining a new movement and those refusing to give up their independence. The work explores freedom, shared consciousness and belonging.
