Forming Mortals

“Here sit I, forming mortals in my image…”

Goethe, Prometheus

A scratch performance about technology, connection, and the cost of progress. In our rush to advance, what gets left behind? Forming Mortals is a confronting, devised exploration of the impact technology has on our relationships, our humanity, and our choices.

Just because we can do something—should we?

This show has been devised by the students of The Actor Rebellion devising course. A scratch performance is an early-stage showing of a work-in-progress. It gives artists a chance to test ideas, scenes, or concepts in front of a live audience before the piece is fully developed. Often rough around the edges, scratch performances invite feedback, experimentation, and collaboration, making the audience part of the creative process.
