2 Million Years of Technology
by John
Sobol
a one-man show that riffs the (r)evolution of contemporary
digital culture
from pre-history to the present
from the cave to the computer
and
a
one-man band
that plays the
Digitopia
Blues
like there's no tomorrow
the story of storytelling through the ages
The show was premiered at Harbourfront Centre in Toronto at digifest
2004. Some recent reviews...
"2
Million Years of Technology...is a tirelessly smart and rigorous blend
of performance poetry, history, lecture and political speech -- with
a jazz intro." * * * *

"Sobol
wields the English tongue like his saxophone, coaxing exotic, melodious
and profoundly poetic combinations of words into the air...Sometimes
he's a storyteller, sometimes he's a philosopher, sometimes he's
a beat poet or an a cappella singer, and sometimes he's simply this
really interesting and intelligent guy having a chinwag with us,
his audience friends." * * * *
