“The Big Plot” is a romantic spy-story played on the info-sphere. It looks at the role of espionage in intrusions into people's internet lives, the dysfunctional sociality that is being created by media communications, the political use and exploitation of social networks.
Four characters will tell a story using dialogues shown on YouTube videos, blog posts, and via entries on their Facebook profiles.
The cloned identity of a real spy will be used as a plot device for telling a story about the political and sentimental weakness of our era, which are accelerated by the compulsory use of personal media and social networking platforms. The compromised privacy on this kind of media and the political control over the Internet will be some of the most important issues of the story.
Audiences will have an active role in the story as well they will be able to interact with the characters. Performances in public environments will complete the set of stages where the story will be acted. |
