Presented by Common Ground Arts as part of the RISER New Works Festival.Created by D'orjay Jackson.For full Festival details, click here: https://commongroundarts.ca/riser/riser-new-works-festival/ ABOUT POSTAL PROPHETSOur journey begins far into a dystopian future on planet Ared’baan, 1,000 years after the great war between a humanoid race and a sentient intelligence information system. The people of Nation Firstile are the only surviving population of the planet’s land colonies and are under strict governance by the Communications & Postal Consortium who control every aspect of information and resource exchange. Postal Prophets is a musical play that follows O’ludree, an indentured vocal labourer who works under the oppressive eye of the CPC but dreams of a different path and world shown to them in both sleeping and waking states. Are these visions a path to O’s freedom or a prophecy of a grander cosmic plan? Which destiny will O’ludree fulfill; the revolutionary voice of of a clandestine resistance or the subservient agent of order? Postal Prophets explores the power of both agency and complacency while embarking on a daring quest of liberation from the nation! WORK-IN-PROCESS: Postal Prophets will be presented as a script reading including performances of songs from the musical. The show will run an estimated 60 minutes with an optional post-show talkback.
