Six influencers collide in a high-energy dance-theatre work exploring fame, consumerism, and our digital obsessions.

Footnote New Zealand Dance present the return season of the critically-acclaimed MODERN GOD by Jeremy Beck. Stunts will be attempted. Records broken. Memes made. Content consumed. Advertising sold. Lives ruined. Heroes formed.

This high-powered show, straddling the realms of contemporary dance and physical theatre, delves into the intricate web of global internet culture. It's a unique opportunity to dissect our interactions with the online world, from its absurdity and speed to its utility and potential dangers.
