Four broken AI entities are trying to make sense of the world but no longer have the correct information. These are The Diviners. In their fragmented state they explore a nether world, between the lines of stories and through unheard harmonics of music. Is this where the truth really lies?
An electrifying and strangely topical story, People Show 145: The Diviners plays out in an imaginary world not so far from our own. Powerfully visual, a colourful cuboid trap defines the parameters of the action. Each character is colour coded - cyan, magenta, yellow or black. Blankets of the same shades play their part, sometimes being thrown over a character to shut them down, like a parrot.
The show is written and performed by Gareth Brierley, Sadie Cook, Fiona Creese and George Khan (in virtual form). Each night features a secret guest artist from the extended People Show family.
The Diviners premiered at Golden Goose Theatre, Camberwell, London on 10 October and ran for three weeks until 28 October 2023.
