A short play on the subject of paranoia.
Written in body language and prformed by androids.
The Cast:
The Insecurity Men - three robots built to ensure human security but becoming uncertain about who are the dangerous and who are the vulnerable amongst the people they encounter.
The Set:
the room - the place the insecurity men are guarding. The environment is enriched with misleading sounds as the robots run on an endless Moebius Loop behaviour programme that is affected by the presence of strangers.
The Plot:
Over time, the Insecurity Men begin to realise they are behaving like people and so start to mistrust each other. And as we human visitors enter the room, so we enter the play, alter its plot and rearrange the pecking order.
The life-sized figures are linked to a DMX control system running a series of servo motors to orchestrate the mechanics. Sensors in the room cause the figures to react to each other, and to visitors - but who is afraid of who?
