Flatland (Presented in 2-D)
Directed and designed by Jumatatu Poe
Flatland satirically addresses the flatness of human communication, where the soundbyte supersedes substance, the instant message overpowers the intellectual one. Visual/physical inspiration for this piece is taken from Poe’s nightmares of being trapped in an infinite, two-dimensional plane. How does a three-dimensional person exist in such an alien geometrical reality? How can meaningful conversation and intimate encounters exist in a land of soundbytes?
