From the bleak recesses of the Civil War, a fictional soldier teams up with real-life Ada Lovelace. Together, they wrestle with the question: can humanity invent a machine that creates peace? Flavor profile of FUTURITY: Brechtian steampunk folk-rock theatre, with a side of vaudeville and science fiction. The musical bursts forth with science, philosophy, deeply accessible human stuff, all told through the lens of a playful and deeply imaginative narrative.
