Overload
Overload is crashing into Shanghai’s theater scene like a digital fever dream, tackling our info-saturated lives with a hypertext twist. Picture this: a speech unfolds, but cheeky performers keep dangling tantalizing “links” to hidden content—videos, actions, or random bits that pull you away from the main stage. Stick with the keynote speaker, the iconic US writer David Foster Wallace, or chase those distractions down a rabbit hole that feels scarily like your daily scroll. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure setup that mirrors our always-on, notification-dinging reality.
