    FoolishPeople, Mythos Media & DPRGRM are seeking actors for their up coming production 'Y', an immersive theatre event, which will be filmed in Cinéma vérité style and distributed as a feature film. Actors must be available from 17th June- 31st July 2010 for rehearsals, performances and the shoot.

    In a post-apocalyptic world, Y is a documentary-style reality show where the grand prize is the future of our species on planet Earth.

    About Y:
    Civilisation has fallen. In the rubble, we at the Y Corporation have developed the ultimate solution to save society: the Y Show. We encourage all good citizens to sign up for the show. You will be housed within a wonderful Haze Treatment Facility and undergo unique psychological treatment, which will clear away the illness of individuality. This reprogramming will be broadcast to the eyes and ears of citizens in our New World, populated with previous contestants and patients. This is a reality show unlike any other! There is a secret that haunts Haze01, the original treatment facility. Two patients, locked deep within its walls, contain archetypes that reject all reprogramming. They channel portents and omens of another future, a world where myth and divinity remake reality, manifesting a planet fit for Gods. In this season of the Y show, the doctors of the facility make their final attempt to process these two patients, before they break free and unleash total anarchy. Tune in.

    “Y” brings an audience inside the creation of a modern myth. The audience will become actual cast members, and be immersed in the story in real time. The film crew will also be part of the story as well as part of the cast, therefore creating a total immersive experience that bridges the traditional proscenium of audience/performer. The ambitious staging and shooting technique is enhanced by the premise that in the future, with one only viable myth left, humanity desperately tries to re-imagine the reality show as a means of their salvation, using any available remaining technology, no matter how dangerous. Haze treatment facilities centers have risen to offer everyone the potential to become Citizen Y, while providing an addicted species with its drug of choice: mindless entertainment.

    Please note, not all character breakdowns are shown in the casting.
