Krapp’s Last Tape (2057, or thereabouts)

A reimagining of Krapp’s Last Tape by Samuel Beckett, set in a near-future collapse where memory lives on through the ghosts of social media.

A 69-year-old man revisits recordings of his younger self, only now, they’re Instagram confessions projected from a salvaged past. Public memory, private regret, and the strange afterlife of technology collide in this 40-minute performance.

An accompanying installation explores social media, AI, memory, collapse, and hopeful futures -- open before and after the show.

Keith "Skip" Hulett is best known for having failed to live up to the promise of his Macon high school annual. “My unimagined, unearned and totally fulfilling career as a husband, father, brother, teacher and librarian are an undeserved fortune grown out of my yearbook days of Junior ROTC, the dean's list, newswriting awards, alcohol, pot, and unchallenged selfishness. Since 2011, however, several generous community theatre groups, Atlanta extras casting directors, UGA drama teachers and film students, and countless young artists from Athens-Atlanta have occasionally put the worst and best of me together in the same room." Skip would like to thank Dana: For she knows, and yet and still. And Asia Meana. For her drive and heart and talent, for giving me a chance to be of some service, and for letting me ride with the great Samuel Beckett. In the words of young Krapp, I must be at the "crest of the wave--or thereabouts."

Asia Meana is a theatre artist, PhD student, and companion to lizards and bugs. She tries her best to struggle against the imperial project of mastery over the living earth in all her creative, academic, and misc. material work. Asia would like to thank her eel for his unflinching support -- despite perhaps knowing better -- of her hairbrained show schemes (even during comps!). And Skip (duh), for making these moments -- Beckett’s, ours, and the dogs’ -- so unforgettable.
