Live from a Bush of Ghosts is a ghost story for the digital age. Spirits arise from the toxic smoke of First World electronic trash dumped in the developing world. A boy lured by an internet predator, an elderly online gambling addict, a suicidal stockbroker, and a heavy metal televangelist— these are some of the ghosts haunting a woman who melts down computer components to retrieve precious metals for pennies a day. With music inspired by Brian Eno and David Byrne’s seminal recording My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, Theatre Conspiracy delves into the fallout of our electronic culture. Electronic band No Luck Club performs along with live video mixes by Candelario Andrade as dancer/actor Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg creates multiple roles to bring alive a ghostworld that is a physical, visual, sonic feast for the senses.
