Described as an ‘absolute must-see’, this auto-tune rock opera is brought to you by re:group performance collective, the acclaimed team behind Coil, UFO and POV.
Set in Wagga Wagga in the early 2000s, AUTO-TUNE is a raucous work of 'gig theatre' that follows Michael, a teenage Silverchair fan who discovers he has a strange superpower. The same way auto-tune technology perfects pitch, Michael finds he can time-travel, auto-tuning his life to rid it of dumb statements, awkward pauses and cringe jokes. But when this music-mad weirdo makes the biggest mistake of his life, will his auto-tune superpower save him?
Told through an audiovisual set of 17 banging songs and live video captions, this innovative and genre defying performance feels like discovering your new favourite band on the side-stage of a music festival.
In a pitch perfect world where algorithms seem to be the answer, AUTO-TUNE is a fifty-five-minute romp into a messy, sweaty universe that proves otherwise. It is a regret-filled love letter to millennial culture - Nokia 3315s, teen drinking, Limp Bizkit and questionable decision-making - featuring eclectic and energetic songwriting and a compelling narrative about the value of mistakes.
