Is it time to break up with our phones?

WHERE: Ironworks Studios, 30 Cheapside, Brighton BN1 4GD

DOORS: 6.30pm

SHOW: 7.30pm

Based on the critically acclaimed album by indie rock polymath Tim Arnold, ‘Super Connected LIVE’ is a Black Mirror-esque show fusing film, live music, theatre and the ticking time bomb of social media & big tech.

As the film rolls, Arnolds performs on stage & screen accompanied by pianist Sarah Kershaw (The Irrepressibles) & ballerina Daniela Maccari (The Lindsay Kemp Co). With the scale of Radiohead & panache of Bowie, a digital age take on the silent movie, with narration by Stephen Fry.

Full of wit, wisdom & terror, the show explores a family’s struggle with technology addiction.
Being pulled in & out of the screen by the attention-grabbing characters, Arnold grapples with what connection & intimacy mean in a digitally distracted world

Lock your phones in our pouches, pocket them, & break free from the digital grind before the show! Join us after for a Screenless Social to chat with each other & the creative team.
