Sally: M.I.A. is a surreal and voyeuristic techno-tragedy; a futuristic theatrical experience wherein time and space, memory and
imagination, inner and outer worlds blur together; where the possibilities of post-human consciousness are embodied in post-modern movement, experimental theater, and digital soundscape. An idealistic telephone operator is offered the chance to become the first fully automated human being, and accepts, in hopes of better understanding the technology which is governing so much of her world, from the inside out. Once adrift in cyberspace, her memory fragments, distorts, and we are taken back and forth in time, attempting to discover the relationship between Sally’s memories, her automate existence, and which is which. As Sally attempts to rediscover herself, we are not only taken into the cyborg’s simulated consciousness, but provoked into reflection on who we are, where we are headed, and who we’ll call when we get there.
