Deep blue
What does it feel like to stand on the back of a one hundred year old Right Whale and flense it for blubber?
How does it feel to chop a million images up into pixels everyday?
Flipping between the oily floor of a whale processing plant in the 20th century and a data annotation centre in the 21st, Deep Blue asks what it means to come face to face with a leviathan when your job is to strip it for parts.
Developed on the Scottish Youth Theatre New Writer’s programme with Douglas Maxwell

“a piece of theatre which doesn’t whack you over the head with environmentalism whilst confronting you with something that whacks you over the head with environmentalism”
