CAMDEN PEOPLE'S THEATRE // 29 March 2026

work in progress performance

as part of Camden People's Theatre Starting Blocks residency programme​

​

Accompanied by an interactive live score, SAINTMAKING is a lyrical, post-human fantasia about the body and the internet, inspired by the true story of the Patron Saint of computer programmers.

​

A man orders an Amazon package from the other side of the world.
A woman reads a Wikipedia article in the middle of the night.
Two strangers meet on Grindr.
And I can’t sleep: tonight is full of fibre optic dreams and nightmares of data centres.

​

From the Cloud high above, overlooking the small dystopias of the internet age, is the Catholic Church’s latest Saint: Carlo Acutis, the Patron Saint of computer programmers.

​

Combining an interactive soundtrack with an electrifying libretto, SAINTMAKING is a 21st century opera about the space between sweating and glitching, longing and hacking, in the ever-human search for a good connection.

Award-winning migrant- and queer-led company Undone Theatre is proud to present this brand new show by critically acclaimed writer and director Gabriele Uboldi and award-winning sound designer and composer Theo Foley.
