GREAT ST. SKUM

What weather!
The sun is blazing, foreheads are sweating, not a cloud in the sky,
as a massive steamship sets sail from the California harbor. The destination:
the icy coast of Greenland.
This ship, as big as a village, battles its way through the waves—heading toward
the company’s new location, carrying on board 4 powerful! leadership-ready!
truly! amazing! bigwigs! from the executive suite, plus several sensitive,
temperature-sensitive computing systems (as well as 200 low-wage earners below deck).
They look hopefully toward their future, this stretch of land
on the horizon, THEIR ELDORADO, when suddenly something
tips over.
The sun? No, not the sun—
the horizon
the horizon that must never tip suddenly stands
vertical
And gasping, our 4 pike swim toward the sun—and
don’t notice him, the 5th friend, who suddenly swims at their side.
Welcome to Sealand.

Very loosely based on motifs from William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies”

JUSTICE should be the foundation of every system, every relationship;
anything else makes no sense, is inhumane, and destroys
the very basis of our existence. But what are we talking about when we talk about justice,
and who gets to speak? Is justice a visionary
utopia, an empty buzzword, or rather a matter of interpretation that can be exploited?
Based on these questions, the five graduates of the
directing program discuss what they believe should be told on this topic.
