About the Show
NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH, AND VERY MUCH UNLIKE THE EMOJI MOVIE, EMOJILAND IS AN ELECTRIC ENSEMBLE PIECE ABOUT A DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF ARCHETYPES WHO TAKE ONE ANOTHER AT FACE VALUE: A SMILING FACE DEALING WITH DEPRESSION; A PRINCESS WHO DOESN’T WANT A PRINCE; A SKULL DYING FOR DELETION; A NERD FACE TOO SMART FOR HIS OWN GOOD; A FACE WITH SUNGLASSES WHO CAN’T SEE PAST HIS OWN REFLECTION; AND A POLICE OFFICER AND CONSTRUCTION WORKER WHO JUST WANT TO WORK TOGETHER. WHEN A SOFTWARE UPDATE THREATENS TO DESTROY LIFE AS THEY KNOW IT, EMOJILAND FACES THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS A SOCIETY – AND A HEART – CAN FACE: WHO ARE WE? AND WHO MATTERS?
