Big Ben vs The Void
About
Tomorrow when the world ends, one man will survive alone in his apartment with nothing but his Amazon Alexa for company. Big Ben versus The Void is a new play about what it means to have humanity in times of crisis.
Playfully bleak and joyously absurd, Big Ben versus The Void follows a lonely man named Ben, and his digital home assistant, Alexa, during the days following a climate apocalypse of which Ben is the only survivor. Combining theatrical storytelling, puppetry and technology, Big Ben versus The Void interrogates identity and what it means to reconnect in an individualised world. Ultimately the play asks us: what does it mean to be human?

Big Ben vs The Void was created on the lands of the Woiwurrung and Boon Wurrung Peoples. We pay our respects to the Traditional Custodians of these lands and their Elders past, present and emerging. Storytelling has taken place here for thousands of years and it is a privilege to tell our story on these lands today. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
