(2008-2016)
Behind one of the most influential media on earth lurks an immense community of people who comment upon its content, often anonymously. In this virtual world, the usual niceties of courtesy and amiability do not apply. In WeeTube the world's most notorious YouTube videos are the backdrop for a performance hosted by James Long and Maiko Yamamoto of Theatre Replacement. Using the publicly posted comments that follow these videos and placing them in familiar dramatic settings, they engage in a revealing and disturbing dialogue that will make you question our species while at the same time have you ROFL.
