About the Project

Red, mutant eyes gaze down on Hunger City. Big Brother is

watching you.

 

In the not-too-distant future, Big Brother’s watchful presence is all

pervasive, tele-surveillance is constant. George Orwell’s fabled

dystopian tale is set to the music of rock legend David Bowie.

 

Can the very act of love be a rebellion?

 

Winston creates Fake News for The Party, joins in The Three Minutes

Hate along with everyone else, but secretly longs for the downfall of

Big Brother. He defies The Party by embarking on an affair with a co-

worker, Julia, an illegal act of Sex Crime.

 

Their inevitable arrest by The Thought Police leads to imprisonment,

torture, and mutual betrayal. But will Winston truly come to love Big

Brother?
