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.
