"Sub-Con
Warrior 1 is a theatrical escapade that takes the audience on a "choose
your own adventure" journey with unexpected twists and turns at every
corner. The production is sexy, daring,
fun, edgy and uses space in highly innovative and stimulating ways. It was deliciously refreshing to experience
innovative, experimental theatre in Brisbane that pushed boundaries and
challenged audiences!"
TIME OFF, 2006.
This new devised
work was the beginning of a series of productions under the "Sub-Con" title to
explore the increasing impact of computer games on young people. The audience
(playing as either high or low-level participants) were set a mission - to
"save" the child who had become lost inside the game. Lead around the game world (in real life
spanning several streets, a field and a suburban house), the audience followed
their "Sub-Con Warriors" to overcome a number of obstacles, only to come face
to face with the Big Boss, the Game Master, and their own responsibilities as
gamers.
