1984 is Bay Area artist Michael Gene 沙利文’s critically acclaimed stage adaptation based on the iconic novel by George Orwell of a very possible oppressive present/future. Mr. 沙利文’s script uses multiple theatrical conventions to zoom in on the personal journey through reenactments of key moments in 一个 man’s life while he is incarcerated. As we attempt to build ourselves 更好的, 1984 offers a cautionary tale as well as a reminder that in a democracy we the people 是政府吗. That we are creators of our own institutions and must shape and nurture our political structures with care. It shows the results of what can happen if we embrace dogmatism without examination and clutch onto our divisions without 同理心.
