Prague Fringe: Shallowspace

A new trans sci-fi body horror play exploring humanity’s legacy in the stars, arriving from a rave run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A disembodied artificially intelligent voice awakens August deep in space. In a daze, she confronts her reality – one of the last human beings floating in the void, guiding the archive of civilisation towards its destination in the far beyond. Frozen blood. Coolant in your veins. Every moment of human history preserved in digital hyperspace. Memories become data. Routine becomes regimen, yet somehow, your limbs feel… wrong?

With an original synthwave sound-track, high-tech projected visuals, and an entrancing solo performance. Blending a nostalgic and queered vision of science fiction with body horror, Callie O’Brien’s debut one-woman play is a visceral depiction of the trans lived experience, brimming with yearning, spite, and a sea of ethereal sensation.
