By: Gabrielle Sierra Apr. 12, 2010
Annex Theatre digitizes human emotion in the World Premiere of When I Come To My Senses, I'm Alive! written by Seattle-based playwright Scotto Moore and directed by Kristina Sutherland. When I Come To My Senses, I'm Alive! opens on Friday, April 23rd, 2010, 8pm and runs Fri & Sat through May 22nd, 2010, 8pm at Annex Theatre located at 1100 East Pike Street in the heart of Seattle's Capitol Hill. $15 General, $10 TPS/Military/Senior, $5 Student (with ID). Pay-What-You-Can shows Fri & Sat April 30th & May 1st and Industry Night Mon May 10th, 8pm.
When I Come To My Senses, I'm Alive! is a science-fiction play about a technological provocateur who invents a method for capturing emotions as digital information in an effort to chart the human emotional genome. She publishes these "emoticlips" over the internet and develops a cult following of fans who download them and play them back in hobby-built receiver helmets. This sensational user experience is not without its consequences, as an entertainment conglomerate plots to acquire her invention by whatever means necessary. Even more unexpected, however, is how these digitized emotions affect the internet itself.
