Glitterati
Part theatre - part video game
New interactive theatre for teenagers and adults
Glitterati
We are currently developing Glitterati, a show exploring who we are online and the gamification of identity.
Our first period of development was supported by Scottish Youth Theatre and Creative Scotland. In collaboration with games makers Biome Collective we created a prototype show - part theatre, part video game - that the young people described as 'Black Mirror meets and escape room'.
We used the story of the Gay Girl in Damascus Hoax as our starting point and from there went on a journey across the internet, through memes, vlogs and tide pods. We worked with a diverse group of teenagers, introducing them to interactive theatre, digital theatre and video game making and working with them to develop this new piece of work.

With thanks to the Scottish Youth Theatre for their support, National Theatre of Scotland for their space, and Coney for their guidance.
