Malfunctions of Being Human - Knot Theatre Production
“I like order. Like when there is an amount of numbers in order, like 25, 26, 27 or if it’s a prime number like 19, 23, 29, 31. It makes sense and it works. I like to say numbers to myself when I feel uncomfortable, like the pi equation or the different paint shades of the colour blue. Order helps me recall the memories I’ve lost in my brain. But if I can’t remember most things, how am I supposed to be happy?”
With medication there will always be malfunctions. We are in the future where the world's technology has advanced enough for people to redesign their personalities. By taking the humanity enhancer called ‘The Normal’ the world is to be a perfect society. But what happens to those that aren't perfect? What happens to the people who don’t respond to the normal?
When pilot ‘Teddy’ crash lands and loses most of his memory in an unknown place, he must work out who he is and why he is there. Knot Theatre debuts Sacred Heart Colleges 2018 School production ‘Malfunctions of Being Human’ written by Georgia Kellett and Anna Secker. Will it be living among utter chaos that Teddy can find order? Directed by Anna Secker and Produced by Georgia Kellett, the production will be showcased on the 26th-28th of July at Sacred Hearts Performing Arts Center in Lower Hutt.
Tickets are $12 and can be purchased online at www.eventbrite.co.nz... and picked up at SHC school office or on the performance nights.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
