1927

Golem is 1927's visually arresting and satirical take on society's misuse of technology.

Mixing live performance and music with film and animation, Golem follows the life of extraordinarily ordinary Robert Robertson, whose life is irrevocably disrupted when he buys a golem – a creature who will improve the efficiency of his daily affairs. But when Robert upgrades to superior model Golem 2, the show questions what happens when man is no longer in control of machine.

Funny, mischievous and eerily relevant to today’s technology-reliant society, Golem is directed and written by Suzanne Andrade, with film, animation and design by Paul Barritt – who jointly won Best Designer at the 2014 Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards for the production.

Music is by Lillian Henley and associate direction and design is by Esme Appleton.
