For this production, performed in Boston University’s largest auditorium, we explored the themes of perfection and performance through the use of modern technologies. Throughout the rehearsal process, we discussed the role that technology has played in how we think about our lives - constantly comparing ourselves to ideals we see daily, and spending a lot of time documenting our existence. In the show, the Leading Player and the ensemble use technology to edit the world around Pippin with artificial filters and make it more bright, colorful, and happy. When Pippin discovers that he doesn’t want a perfect life, the filter comes off and he finally gets to see the real world.

Originally produced in Spring 2019.
