A nightmarish tale of love, betrayal and technological power from the multi-award winning makers of Translunar Paradise and Ballad of the Burning Star.

Inspired by Edward Snowden’s revelations and state surveillance, Ad Infinitum conjures an Orwellian future where a totalitarian regime monitors the thoughts of its citizens through implants.

Blending anime-style storytelling and pulsating soundscapes, Light draws audiences into its sci-fi realm. Torchlight innovatively illuminates this wordless production set atmospherically in darkness.

The Observer

The immersive soundscape by Chris Bartholomew, which adds distinctly to this filmic quality, is as detailed and precise as the action on stage. There is a combination of recorded and live sound that never ceases throughout the show. High-tech futuristic noises combine with crackling electronic, enhancing the dizzying pace of the piece while eerie echoes of a tender lullaby float in and out at crucial moments.

The sound design (by Chris Bartholomew) is equally powerful and incredibly effective – both the sound effects and the music. The actors are completely in sync with the sound, which adds the essential extra layer to bring their world to life.
