About Now

Covid, lockdown, birthdays. The one decides to create a virtual reality to evade this dying world. His way to fight pollution, discord, inequality. The older generation is not ready, they want the past to come back. They fight against it, against each other, they lose themselves to find others.

This dark comedy explores inter generational conflict provoked by the rise of new advanced technology. The father figure collapses as all his beliefs are challenged by this new world, is it toxic masculinity or fear? Are women freed from expectations? Will X managed to save her family as mother always do? Will she find her reason to live? To survive? Or will she finally find freedom.

For all mothers who are struggling to understand the younger generations, for all adults who battle constantly against technology, for all technology lovers who fail to realise their struggles, come and reflect, laugh, interject (yes we had audiences interjecting with us and we love it!) come and live truly and really what virtual can be.
