Mon Espoir X The Avoi(D)ance • Semi-professional company
About Mon Espoir X The Avoi(D)ance
Brainrot is a semi-professional theatre production by Mon Espoir X The Avoi(D)ance, running 50 minutes and suited to audiences aged 12 and over. Set within the fictional Oswald Space Programme, the show blurs sci-fi spectacle with horror undertones to examine how online environments feed on human engagement. Expect an eclectic mix of people, media, movement, a musical number, guttural screams, timely poetics, unintelligible jargon, looking at cheese, eating light and fighting the grip of the Bestia Uwagi.
Why see this show?
If you've ever felt your attention hijacked by a screen, this anarchic piece of physical theatre will make you laugh, squirm, and think twice about handing over your time. Strange, inventive, and genuinely unlike anything else on the programme.
