When We Were Idiots

Overview

The year is 2113, you are about to embark on a walking tour that dissects the consumerism, ignorance and individualism of 2013. Well, sort of. It's not really 2113, but this comedic tour of our fair city (as part of the Anywhere Theatre Festival) pokes fun at the rampant idiocy of contemporary living and the possible implications of living in an age of overconsumption and intolerance.

While it may not be as in-your-face as the film Idiocracy was, the tour (led by Xavier the Penguin) takes in all the interesting artefacts of our time, including ‘cars’, ‘mobile phones’, ‘beef’, ‘pop music’, ‘sport’, ‘the stock market’, ‘advertising’ and ‘reality television’ and examines the pop culture obsession that threatens to dumb down our future.

You can catch the tours every day at 5.30pm (with an additional 2pm tour on weekends) at Brew in the City. The show ends on Sunday, May 19, so grab an ticket and head into town soon if you want to be a part of the fun.
