Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Modern God at Circa Theatre

Marketing Manager from Circa Theatre

Six influencers collide in a high-energy dance-theatre work exploring fame, consumerism, and our digital obsessions. Footnote New Zealand Dance present the return season of the critically acclaimed MODERN GOD.

Stunts will be attempted. Records broken. Memes made. Content consumed. Advertising sold. Lives ruined. Heroes formed.

This high-powered show, straddling the realms of contemporary dance and physical theatre, delves into the intricate web of global internet culture. It’s a unique opportunity to dissect our interactions with the online world, from its absurdity and speed to its utility and potential dangers.

Reviews:
“breathtaking tour de force of artistry” The Post
“MODERN GOD is immediate. It’s urgent and overwhelming. Bloody. Its concerns are with the now; the intersections between social media, capitalism, and us.” – Jack McGee, Art Murmurs
