Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?


From the novel by Philip K. Dick
Adapted by Edward Einhorn
Music by Henry Akona

World Premiere

An adaptation of Philip K. Dick's sci-fi classic about androids and a bounty hunter, Rick Deckard, who loves them/loves to kill them. The book inspired the film Blade Runner, but this adaptation returns to the original novel's ideas about a post-apocalyptic world seeking resurrection through the rediscovery of empathy. The production uses innovative video techniques to blur the lines between humanity and technology, finding the soul within the machine.

At the 3LD Art + Technology Center, New York City
