Surveil
Surveil is an immersive theatre show that confronts audiences with the reality of modern corporate surveillance and invasion of privacy, from Hip.Bang! and director Marie Farsi. All audience members must sign a waiver in order to attend. The production is part subversive documentary theatre, part immersive comedy show, and part social experiment that changes every night. Surveil demonstrates and deconstructs the ways the world is watching us.
