It’s the moment of your death.There’s a magic button. Do you delete your entire online legacy? Or do you keep it – and leave the choice for someone else? Dante or Die has joined forces with writer Chris Goode to examine what happens to our digital identities after we die in User Not Found.

In a special highlight of our new season Ventnor Exchange is thrilled to be bringing this unique experience to the Isle of Wight.

USER NOT FOUND is about our digital identities after we die. This play has been created by celebrated site-specific company Dante or Die in collaboration with pioneering writer Chris Goode and creative technologists Marmelo. Performed in the Ventnor Exchange in it’s normal cafe layout, audience members receive a smartphone and a pair of headphones and are immersed in one man’s story as he’s faced with keeping or deleting his partner’s online existence. A story of contemporary grief unfolds through this intimate, funny performance that gently interrogates our need for connection.

Every performance of User Not Found is captioned: please inform a member of Front of House staff on entry to the performance space that you would like to use the captioning system. For more information, please contact the Box Office.

User Not Found is the recipient of In Good Company’s mid-career artist commission and was developed with the support of artsdepot’s Creative Residencies, Southbank Centre, South Street, The New Wolsey Theatre, University of Reading, Roundhouse London & Stone Nest.

User Not Found is funded by the International Music & Art Foundation, AHRC, Cockayne – Grants for the Arts, The London Community Foundation, Wellcome Trust Public Engagement Fund & Arts Council England.
