Strata Inc.

Strata Inc. follows a hacker going corporate, exploring the collision between our best intentions and the enticing compromises we make for success. As a teen, Victoria was an infamous hacker. Now a young adult, she has created a powerful virtual reality platform and has agreed to work for a giant tech corporation in order to bring that platform to a huge audience. As users collide with the new Internet reality of VR experiences, exploring online privacy, connection, security, and access, Victoria must choose: run the multinational responsible, or escape from her own invention. Strata Inc. is a play by writer-director Megan Piercey Monafu, with sound design by Johnny Wideman, and dramaturgy by Scout Rexe. It was originally produced as an immersive in-person show in March 2020, and is presented here in its audio play format, made possible through the undercurrents festival 2021, the Canada Council for the Arts, and Artengine.
