alladeen - time permitting i would like to see this, it sounds interesting. however it is only on for three days at the tramway in glasgow. the site itself is a striking piece of work, multi layered, multi media. as a theatre piece it is described as:
a cross media performance exploring the impact of technology and globalisation, set in the surreal world of the bangalore call centres. here a group of young indian recruits are being taught to 'pass' themselves off as americans through 'neutering the mother tongue' and acquiring a passing knowledge of american football and other cultural trivia. taking on the alter egos of characters from friends, the operators are on call 24/7 providing information on services from route planning to astrology. alladeen transposes fragments from the tale of aladdin by dissonantly mixing the global and the local in a shifting map of cultural identity.
-on thursday 6th to saturday 8th of november.
