Part of MEANING IN THE VOID
Anima
Written and directed by Spike Marshall
Centuries after humanity vanished, two ageing androids drift through what’s left of the galaxy, Karel, older and more fluent in human contradiction, and Peck, still learning what a well-placed contraction can do to a sentence. When their ship’s scanners pick up a signal from a long-lost human colony ship, the pair face something they were built for but never expected to survive: the return of their god.
A quiet, philosophical two-hander about service, sentience, and what’s left of you once the purpose you built yourself is handed back. Threaded through with quotations from Blake and Tennyson, and a slow unravelling of what “human” even means when there’s no one left to ask.
When: 8, 10, 12 & 13 September
