I Have No Enemies

10 - 20 APRIL | EXPLOSIVES FACTORY
I Have No Enemies

VENUE

Do you know who’s watching you? What if it’s a group of unhinged sociopaths like US?

After stumbling upon a voicemail full of sensitive information, four actors embark on a morally bankrupt man-hunt to untangle the reality of life online. Who is Phil? What happened to his dogs? And how’s he going to react when we steal his Uber Eats? Again.

It’s a cyberpunk detective story. It’s a maniacal Ted talk. It’s a live-action 90s hacker movie. And it’s all true. We think. We’re getting confused. And paranoid. We’re probably on a watchlist. Not that we’ve done anything wrong. We’ve nothing to hide. We have no enemies. Has anyone actually read the terms & conditions?

This is a show for anyone who engages, reluctantly or otherwise, with the Internet. Anyone who can relate to the weird split-existence between the digital and the real world; the niggling sense of doubt that your Alexa is listening in on you; the guilty fascination of watching people overshare on Facebook; the psychological toll of doomscrolling horrific global events followed by cute cat videos; the impulse to disconnect, delete everything, and go off the grid - and knowing that that isn't an option in an increasingly digital world.

Confronting, enlightening and absurdly entertaining, I Have No Enemies is radical contemporary work by Canberra’s leading theatre company that decodes the truth of life through a lens. It’s more fun than you ever thought a show about the terrifying, unblinking eye of surveillance could be.

“The best night I have had in the audience of a theatre show in years. It’s everything that theatre should be - clever, relevant, intelligent, challenging, contemporary and funny as hell.” - Robin Davidson, Rebus Theatre Company

“Bare Witness have created a most worthwhile and timely theatre production that is immediate, necessary and provides the platform for exploration and shared adventures between actors, technicians and audiences.” - Joe Woodward, City News

Programming Banners2.jpg

Our AT THEATRE WORKS program is for artists, companies or works that align with some but not all of our values as an organisation. We co-present these works with the independent artists and organisations. Works within this programming stream receive marketing support, technical support, free venue use and a generous box office split but largely we give them the keys and get out of their way.
