NOTEXCEPTIONAL THEATRE

Step into a world where the spoken word fades into silence, and the pulse of electronic communication takes centre stage.
Dead Air is a play that explores the gradual replacement of face-to-face interaction by a symphony of electronic devices. Through the ethereal voices of cell-phones, computers, artificial intelligence, and more, characters navigate a reality where physical meetings become obsolete. Relationships are forged and unraveled through the digital realm, as messages of love are exchanged, employees dutifully follow emails, and communities assemble via satellites.
This immersive narrative blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality, revealing a haunting truth – our existence is intricately woven with an immaterial, yet palpable, technological landscape. Brace yourself for a journey into a world where connections transcend physicality, and the profound impact of digital communication echoes endlessly.

Dead Air is proudly supported by The Arts Council

ABOUT THE COMPANY

NOTEXCEPTIONAL THEATRE is a new theatre group on the Dublin scene
that embraces experimentalism as the driving force behind its work. The
concept of ‘non-exceptional’ stems from the idea of honouring things with
little light or those on the margins of society, whether they be themes or
individuals.
