Panoptican

Panopticon is a term used to describe the surveillance and monitoring of individuals in society. With the widespread use of technology and the internet, this phenomenon has become increasingly prevalent in modern times. The revelations made by Edward Snowden about the abuse of people's personal information have raised concerns about privacy and security, but the impact of these issues is often difficult to perceive in everyday life.


Therefore, it is considered an inevitable aspect of contemporary living, and people tend to share similar attitudes and emotions towards it. To capture the essence of these feelings, we have identified four sub-themes: cruelty, sugar-coated arsenic, loss, and nihilism. They are interconnected and equally important in the performance.
