Love?
Baby, that ain’t love.
That’s just dopamine.
Your brain ain’t looking for love,
it’s looking for more.
More clicks, more pics, more kicks.
More. More. More.
Dopamine is a story of a man who is swallowed up by the digital world and ends up in an obscure nightmare where the boundaries between dream and reality blur. Where gravity does not exist and objects lead lives of their own.
Impressive magic brings the schizophrenia of this young man to life and takes the audience into a world of addiction, loneliness, and the endless search for connection, lust, and love. Dopamine is the beginning of a visual trip that sketches the lives of many anonymous lives behind closed doors. This new theater performance by Tim Oelbrandt is a combination of illusionism and visual theater. A compelling event, a theatrical installation, a sensory experience.
