FEED
A Palestinian woman takes a striking photograph of a boy. A journalist steals the image for an unrelated article. A blogger is moved to tears by the article and posts a tribute. An SEO specialist makes the blogger’s tribute go viral. Now all four are caught in a media storm, in a whirring story that moves from reality into dark fantasy as the algorithms spin to deliver ‘what people want’.
Welcome to the stimulating world of Feed, where emotions are the currency, and your passions and fantasies will be indulged… for a price.
“Theatre Temoin have certainly shown me not just one of the most interesting, beguiling and bizarre plays I’ve seen at the Fringe but it may actually be one of the best plays that I have ever seen in my life!”
— Radio Summerhall
Feed was originally developed and researched pre-lockdown with groups of young people through digital media workshops in partnership with Tactical Technology, The Lowry Contemporary Company, Stagedoor Learning, Roundhouse Young Poets, Ovalhouse Young Associates, and New Horizons.
In 2023 we are redeveloping the piece to update it for a post-Covid era, working with young people in Essex and Kent ahead of a tour in 2024.
