Golem

The Golem is the story of a man who fashions a creature out of clay to work for him.  This then is the basis for Golem presented by 1027 in which they explore man’s relationships with his machines.  And no, it is not a re-telling or an adaptation of the story containing the definite article, but an original story without the definite article which examines the relationship between an extraordinarily ordinary man, and his Golem…

Located in a fictional yet familiar world, where technology and the market economy have evolved to a point of transcending the boundaries of human control, Golem has become a must have, indispensible ingredient for a better life. But its very existence, threatens the prospect of those who created it.

Like a giant graphic novel burst into life, 1927 invites you to take a step through the looking glass into a dark and fantastical tale of an extraordinary ordinary man. Blending 1927’s synthesis of handmade animation, claymation, live music and performance Golem is a dystopian fable for the twenty first century, which cleverly and satirically explores one of the great questions of the modern world – who or what is in control of our technologies?
