Intrapology
A science fiction project that experiments with performance, collaborative worldbuilding, and virtual interaction, led by CSI Imaginary College fellow Zoyander Street.
Created by CSI Imaginary College fellow Zoyander Street, in collaboration with Dietrich “Squinky” Squinkifer, Intrapology is a live, interactive online queer sci-fi series, which launches in the fall of 2024.
Intrapology is all about how people make worlds together, and the cataclysmic social fragmentation that threatens to unmake them. It focuses on the perspectives of neurodivergent queer folk, as alien anthropologists doing fieldwork on earth. They interact via video call with their supervisors at the fictional Transdimensional Research Institute, an alien university that has been decimated by cuts to the fabric of reality. Together they expose the comedy and terror of living in a world that was not built with people like you in mind.
The audience collectively shapes the story, experiencing the show on a web page that looks like the protagonist’s computer desktop. Through this online format, Intrapology aims to reach disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent audiences that have been left behind by the return to in-person events. It aims to move beyond the limitations of online theatre as we know it, with an approach to design that draws on alternative indie games culture.
