1984 with Edward Snowden & Joseph Thompson (on-demand)
$10.34-$34.46
New European Ensemble and Greengage present 1984, a gripping original film based on George Orwell's classic novel. Featuring Edward Snowden, Joseph Thompson, and Mihkel Kerem's new ensemble piece based on the novel.
Snowden introduces the film and plays a small theatrical role in it. He speaks via video link in Russia, where he lives in exile from the US after leaking documents in 2013 revealing the extent to which the American NSA was recording the electronic communications of ordinary citizens.
Emlyn Stam, artistic director of New European Ensemble, said: “Mihkel Kerem’s illustrative piece along with our performance in 1984 give emotional weight to abstract topics like privacy, data collection, and authoritarian populism. This allows the ensemble to pursue its mission to present contemporary repertoire in a compelling and accessible way to a broad audience.”
