Description

“A little less Attenborough, more cybernetic furry Louis Theroux” 

OffComm Award & Baloney Award 2023 Winner 

 

Emperor Spy Cam A10N3 has returned from his Antarctic investigation for the BBC. 

In his performance review he’ll be covering his infiltration of a penguin colony, struggles to adapt to their complex and contradictory society, and his code-breaking feelings towards one of the subjects. 

A bizarre, irreverent comedy about depersonalisation and the neurodivergent experience through the ‘lens’ of an undercover robotic penguin.  
 


  • Content warning: Occasional strong language, bright colourful lights, discussions of mental health that may be distressing.
