Technology remembers everything. Families remember what matters.
The Delirium Archive by Shane Mac an Bhaird
Rough Magic
16 April - 9 May
On the coast of Mayo, the O’Connor family have been locked down for years, sealed inside by a toxic yellow fog. They are part of a memory-collection trial that promises digital immortality. All they have to do is tell the truth. Every last bit of it.
When an agent from the Delirium Corporation arrives to collect their data, the family begin to doubt the tech, the trial, and whether anyone, family or algorithm, can ever really know you. A challenge to our faith in technology, memory, myth, and who gets to decide what forever looks like.
The Delirium Archive is a world premiere by Shane Mac an Bhaird. It is about family, and the intangible love technology can’t capture.
