Control & Death 2008 features three self-proclaimed time travel experts who are invited to speak at a conference they believe will feature their expertise. However, these three have actually been lured into appearing together by a manipulative conference host who hopes to see the experts squirm under each other's scrutiny. The work has a tone of paranoia, hinting at the insularity of shared conspiracy theories and experiences exclusive to small groups of believers.
Control and Death 2008 was written and produced by Ellen Mueller, performed by Ellen Mueller and Phil McCollam, and presented at The Soap Factory, in association with Artery24, July 5, 2008
