Gonzalo\u2019s Map<\/em> is a multiplatform piece that weaves together digital and analogue forms of communication as it tells the story of three characters that belong to different worlds. Created by Laura Vingoe-Cram, Mary Vingoe, Garry Williams and Kiana MacBonnell, Gonzalo\u2019s Map <\/em>is a loose sequel to Shakespeare\u2019s The Tempest<\/em>.  It is centered around Prosper, who is dying in a long-term care home, estranged from his family and Ariella, his sixteen-year-old granddaughter as well as Gonzalo who seeks to reunite them.<\/p>\n

The project was conceived of as a multiplatform, durational piece which would take the audience on a week long journey through TikTok videos, live streams, and Zoom calls as well as include physical media such as letters.  It seeks to investigate how the gulf of technology has been created between different generations and what happens when someone needs to bridge that gap.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
