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." * * * *
