This is a technological-artistic experiment. It is a musical, but not as you know it. There are no actors, no singers, no dancers, you must play it out in your mind. To help you along the way I have included 'stage notes' of what I saw in my head when 'curating' it. If you see it differently go with it.

Do not let the irony be lost on you that this was an Artificial Intelligence experiment, in a story exploring the effect the digital world has had on humans!

Act I explores the rise of social media technology, broadly heralded for its positive potential. Act II takes us through the ultimately negative, manipulator of society that it has become.

The Noise - Visually stage is busy, dancers wearing roller skates. All holding mobile phones. Skating/dancing whilst heads are down. Frenetic, lots of movement and somehow managing to not crash into each other. Wearing florescent clothing to add to sense of sensory overload. In this song we get an overarching scene setting of how we are all made to feel quite busy, overwhelmed and emotionally driven by social media.

'Truth' is trending - In this number we get our first glimpse of Jonas' agenda. An aspiring, young, political figure, now employed by 'The Noise' a social media start-up. He sees value in social media, and understands how it could be weaponised for political purposes. Soloists perform in a spotlight, we hear from a variety of citizen voices. When Jonas is singing he is behind a presidential lectern. At 1:30mins we get a glimpse of 'madame algorithm' she is lounging in an upper tier of the stage, watching the action below. When we hear male chorus voices, they are the 'TechBros', other social media leaders, stood alongside Jonas on a balcony at the back of the stage.

Lines in the sand - Stage lights come up and dancers are paired, facing each other to left and right of stage. A wrist of each partner is bound by a ribbon, there is sand scattered on the stage between them. The choreography of the song follows the dancers coming together, not quite being able to touch, then drifting back. This scene explores the effect social media is being to have on people's ability to interact physically, face-to-face and agree on matters.

Madame Algorithm - We now hear from Madame more formally. Lights up and she is laid in a luxurious bed, burlesque style attire, and a silk dressing gown. As the song builds, she is up from the bed, and joined by other burlesque dancers on stage. This song is exploring the the seductive nature of the technology, how it wants to make you feel safe and loved, fuel your dopamine levels, get you hooked with love.

The Great Disconnect - The effects of social media are now being seen more clearly on individuals ability to be appear more isolated. We seen a similar scene to the opening one, only this time we see professionals, children, priests, all members of society, separated in 3m taped squares (COVIDeque). Each one holding a smartphone. Dancing within their square, never leaving it. The TechBros and Jonas are back on their balcony, and can be heard chanting at the crowd at moments in the vocals.

Look at me! - This number closes out the first act, seeking to lift the energy as we go to an interval. It is a 'tongue in cheek' nod to the social media platforms that serve to encourage professional competition and humble bragging. Whilst motiving for some, they are deflating for others. Performed as a solo, we see exaggerated examples of posts we might see on these platforms projected as scrolling video on the backing of the stage.
