Big Mother - Theatre
From scoop to scandal, when journalists disrupt... And what if fiction was no longer so far from reality? Blending theatre and cinema, this show borrows from the codes of investigative journalism to reveal the invisible workings of mass manipulation.
The story follows Julia Robinson, journalist at New York Investigation, whose life is turned upside down when she believes she recognizes her partner, who died four years earlier, on the defendant's bench at a trial. Behind this intimate enigma unfolds a sprawling investigation exposing the threads of an unprecedented political scandal. Algorithms, fake news, mass surveillance: the mechanics of modern oppression are underway. But in a world where virtual and real intermingle, where deception is common and social networks dictate our lives, how can we separate truth from lies? And what if the most insidious threat came from where we least expect—from ourselves?
In Big Mother, Mélody Mourey delivers a gripping dive into the troubled side of our digital democracies. Mélody Mourey, a rising figure in contemporary theatre, confirms her talent for questioning the burning issues of our era through accessible, deeply human theatre, and signs a thrilling politico-journalistic show that immerses the audience in a captivating investigation, mixing suspense, twists, and reflections on the excesses of Big Data.
