In the late 21st century, the only world they know is one of dogma and manufactured convention. Can two recent graduates of a top-tier E-Sports academy prepare for the most important video game tournament of their lives… and are they prepared for the compromises they would have to make to their belief systems and their friendship in a world with a power structure that seeks to manipulate them? Motherlode is a cyberpunk story of hacking, power dynamics and confirmation bias.

 

The interactive broadcast will include a Q&A with the creators of the show.

 

Age range: PG-13 (strong language)

Content advisories: mental ill-health, strobe lighting, strong language, violence (in a video game)

 

In a festival of new work, please note that shows can often overrun.

 

Produced by Out of Omelas Creations
