About the play
Set during his intensive period of deprogramming, Joe toggles between quixotic and disorienting memory flashes of his deployment, which are prone to shifting rules, pixelation and buffering. As he criss-crosses the strange, confusing, and at times absurd terrain of ‘militainment’ (the pervasive use of gaming and psychology to recruit, reprogram, train and deprogram contemporary military personnel), his grasp on what is real and what is virtual skews just beyond reach.
Director: Erik Pearson
Dramaturg: Alex Mallory
