Is there anything as unsettlingly familiar than a near-future dystopic office space? From Brazil to Black Mirror, the cold matter-of-factness of red tape has played stimulus for some truly terrifying pieces of performance over the years. Octopus joins its ranks with a new piece of writing from Afsaneh Gray about nonsensical interviews and punk rebellion. The result is a valiant effort which despite its fieriness feels less a rage against the machine and more a yell into the void.
