The Distraction

In a time where most content and entertainment are found online, a break away from screens is very much needed. The Umbilical Brothers provide us with that rest, by incorporating an enormous screen to their stage performance. The Distraction is a 75-minute physical theatre performance that incorporates multimedia, with two green screens placed on opposite ends of the stage. The production has gone on to win Best Comedy at the 2021 Adelaide Fringe Festival with its use of physical comedy and cinematic special effects while critiquing our reliance on screens as technology progresses.
