Dunstan Playhouse, Adelaide festival centre
Dark side of ubiquitous handheld devices revealed in part Beetlejuice, part Terry Gilliam-esque tale paired with breathtaking projections

These days, we are our devices - or maybe our devices are us.

Whatever way we look at it, the powerful little computers that we carry around in our pockets give us everything. We want for nothing. We shop on them, get our news, talk to our friends (verbally or by text, messenger app, Whatsapp, email), find our partners - romantic / sexual / other (Tinder, Happn), we broadcast images of ourselves and the world around us (Snapchat, Instagram), we telegraph our thoughts (Twitter, Facebook), maps pop up to tell us where to eat and where to shop, we stream music and talks that we listen to as we walk.
