About Mothcatcher
Sandbox: Saining is an immersive audio/visual theatre experience by Mothcatcher, a semi-professional company, performed in the Quiet room at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Created by local filmmakers and artists Kerry Mullaney and Kris Bird, the show presents a faceless voice, fractured memories, and a black void to explore questions of memory, consciousness, and subjectivity in an emerging world of synthetic intelligence. The experience runs for 25 minutes, is described as emotionally intense, and carries age guidance of 12+. Tickets are £8.50.
