* All Tomorrow's Condensations *

A steampunk theatre play extravaganza. With puppets!

monochrom try to reinterpret the steampunk genre 
in form of a steamy puppet extravaganza. A 
journey into the backwaters of imagination!

First presented at 24C3, Berlin, December 2007.

In 1887 the Indian Empire of the British Nation 
was formed. How did that happen you ask? A good 
question, deserving of a good answer and, 
although the Britons don’t like to talk about it, 
the incident uprooted some entrenched colonial 
mindsets. Indeed, Samosas proved to be more 
tasteful than Fish and Chips, and the importance 
of the nation states was in decline, anyways.
The true masters of the times were the powerful 
steam barons, men who controlled the planet by 
controlling the energy. Their boots were placed 
firmly on the necks of the people they ruled. 
People who gladly payed for the privilege. Woe be 
to those foolish enough to tamper with their 
patents… the results were… well… let us just say 
that those foolhardy wretches would most 
certainly NOT be enjoying their final rest under a standard tombstone.
Energy was what mankind needed, hungered for, 
lusted after... energy. For airboats and cellular 
calculation machines, for geostationary weather 
factories and the energy to fuel the 
Infodampfbahn, the transcontinental data-steam network.

Societal business as usual. But can there be a better tomorrow?
