A multidisciplinary performance, Cliffhanger examines the Sisyphean task of climbing beyond the interface layer of reality.
Our digital feeds are never-ending cliffhangers, designed to keep us fixed to our screens in a state of dissociative suspension. But unlike more traditional narrative devices, algorithmic narrative tension is perpetual.
In a world where streaming platforms compete with sleep (and win) and tech entrepreneurs half-run NASA, decimate non-algorithmic business, and are complicit in the weaponisation of information, doomscrolling is a mood, and that mood is bad.
From Holly Childs and Angela Goh, with soundtrack by Lithuanian artist Gediminas Žygus, Cliffhanger investigates the metaphorical and literal relevance that the cliffhanger has today, through a broken unfolding of time.
