Performance
‘Shuffle Off This Mortal Coil’ is a performance that presents a re-animated female cabbie in 2080 and explores the philosophical conflicts emerging from the development of neurotechnology. The soliloquy satirises the commodification of longevity and speculates on the power structures surrounding immortality.
The work was produced in response to a prompt regarding a woman named Bridget, who wakes up in 2080, fifty years after her death, in a body that is not her own.
‘Shuffle Off This Mortal Coil’ was part of a collaboration with the Kandinsky Theatre Company and was performed as part of the group exhibition ‘Meat Sacks’ at the Corner7 gallery in Camden.
