Immortal Variables

A cross-border collaboration with Hsing Legend Youth Theatre, the youth wing of Contemporary Legend Theatre (Taiwan)

Synopsis

A kidnapping of the country’s president. A system to predict the future through data analysis. A technology secretly planted to control human minds. An anti-government organisation. A monitored phone call. A plan within a plan.

What is the password? Who is the mole? What are the odds? Who can really control the variables?

Nine Years Theatre joins forces with Hsing Legend Youth Theatre, the youth wing of Contemporary Legend Theatre from Taiwan in this cross-border collaboration, exploring an artistic dialogue between traditional arts and contemporary drama to create this modern sci-fi fable set in the near future.
