Act of Repair was a brand-new piece of political theatre devised by the National Ensemble. The process began with conversations about Brexit and moved on to concerns about emerging forms of capitalism and the technological forces at work around us, on us, in us.
Performed, devised and written by the Scottish Youth Theatre National Ensemble 2019.
Directed by Brian Ferguson
Designed by Jen McGinley
"Bravo to the Scottish Youth Theatre for bending their creative genius to one of the greatest challenges of our time: an unprecedented surveillance economy that threatens freedom and democracy. Let it be known that a new youth vanguard is ready to think critically, to bear witness, and, ultimately, to say ‘NO MORE!’"
— Shoshana Zuboff, Author, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism
