Continuous City @ BAM

I haven't seen a stage play a some time and when reading the synopsis of Continuous City, now playing at BAM, I was game to check it out. The play tells interlocking stories of four characters, told simultaneously via irregular sized collapsing screens and comments on humanity's speedy approach towards digital media as our primary mode of communication, while first person contact becomes obsolete.

What Continuous City gains in gorgeous multimedia display, interesting videography, and fun techno stuff, it loses in content. The story is lazy. I won't spoil it, but I wish they'd spent as much time developing the play as they did the set.

One thumb up.
