Great quote from an episode: "I don't pretend to tell you how to find happiness in love, especially when every day is just a struggle to survive. But I do insist that you do survive, because the days, and the years ahead are worth living for. One day, soon, man is going to be able to harness incredible energies - maybe even the atom. Energies which could ultimately hurl us to other worlds, and in some sort of - spaceship. And the men that reach out into space, could find ways to feed the hungry millions of the world, and to cure their diseases. They would be able to find a way to give each man hope, and a common future. And THOSE are the days worth living for."
Kirk giving advice to a woman on a 'past Earth' that they visited.
I love that our show would 'be able to find a way to give each man hope, and a common future.'

We are in a place and time when we don’t really know who we can trust. There’s something scary and supernatural playing out in regular life. You can’t see it, you can’t prove it, but you know it’s there. What would it mean to escape the anxiety of your own mind into a different reality? You would need to find a place to escape to. A beautiful pink world, a snowy world, the coldness of the desert, the emptiness of space and a little blue dot. What a beautiful thing to be isolated in a vast landscape, filled with wonder, and you don’t feel lonely at all.

Uncanny Valley mandate:
Let’s play with the audience’s memories and with our own memories, and use the mechanism of live theatre to identify and explore memory as the very essence of what makes us human.
Theatre is a time-based art, a memory machine, let us use it not to show or tell, but to strive for the impossible goal of manipulating and inhabiting memories on stage with an audience. Let us do this to spark our own memories, and to trigger those of the audience, in order to provoke reflection about the slipping away of time, and the relishing of present moments that will soon become past memory. Let us do this in a kickass psychological, sonic, poetic, and physical way that can only be done onstage via song and spectacle.
In Uncanny Valley, we create a radically new theatre experiment that is based on the process and intoxication of the phenomenon of memory.
