SFU, School for the Contemporary Arts, 2025

Screaming into the Dark is a new work led by Lachlan Harris-Fiesel as a part of the SCA’s 2025 Live Acts Festival. Inspired by existentialism and the mourning of a close family friend, this show puts humanity’s virtues, vices, and need for a purpose on full display as it attempts to explore how an ordinary person leave a trace of themselves after they die. Society remembers certain figures like Alexander the Great or Neil Armstrong for the great and terrible things they achieved but is it also possible to be remembered through the love and kindness you show to the world? These questions confront a group of smartly dressed human-like creatures as they examine celebrity, free jazz, and radio waves while debating the need to be remembered.
