About the Show

Set in the year 2047, this piece grapples with themes of corporatized media, an elite political sphere, advanced technology, prisons, and the governance of public opinion.

Agnus is an odd man in both appearance and personality. Cryptic and volatile after being accused of the murder of a California Governor, Agnus undergoes a series of interviews by a state appointed psychologist to determine his fitness to stand trial. Spoken Word Hip-Hop Theater Artist Ise Lyfe and Google Tech Writer Matt Werner collaborated to write and produce this futuristic political drama.
