Synopsis

Petty rivalries and huge egos clash as Smokescreen, possibly the greatest Rock & Roll band of the 70’s reform for one last Album and tour.
Trapped in an underground recording studio simmering tensions boil over with fatal results and dark humour.
Described as Agatha Christie meets Spinal Tap, the dysfunctional group of musicians struggle to make peace, and music.

In GAWD V. THE PEOPLE, the audience is part of the court, it’s an AI-led tribunal where humanity is on trial for the right to remain on Earth. Volunteer audience members become witnesses aided by agentic legal aids as we defend our continued existence against Nonhumans testifying against human impact. Surrounding projection environments and evolving courtroom visuals transform the space to reflect the trial as evidence accumulates.
