Part of BAM's Next Wave 2019 , this experimental work puts you in a café with a set of headphones and a smartphone and invites you to listen in on a nearby man's moving personal journey. More…

From the show:

What happens to your digital life after you’re gone? If there were a magic button would you choose to delete your online history?

"Keep those cell phones on; that's where 'User Not Found' largely unfolds. this inventive, pointed work of theater asks us to consider how the current public immersion in the digital world affects both life and death…ultimately, and surprisingly, becomes quite touching."
