Golem had its world premiere at Salzburg State Theatre, Salzburg Festival, Austria on 22 August 2014. In 2018, we collaborated with The Space to capture Golem on film, which debuted on BBC4 in November 2018. SUMMARY SENTENCE!

 

ABOUT THE SHOW

Drawing on the myth of The Golem - the story of a man who fashions a creature out of clay to work for him - as a starting point, 1927 created an original production exploring man and his machines.  1927’s Golem is not a re-telling or adaptation of the Golem myth but an original story that examines the relationship between an extraordinarily ordinary man, and his Golem...

Located in a fictional yet familiar world, where technology and the market economy have evolved to a point of transcending the boundaries of human control, Golem has become a must have, indispensable ingredient for a better life. But its very existence, threatens the prospect of those who created it.
