Glej i.T.! je multimedijska plesna odisejada, ki z uporabo različnih medijev (hip hop, sodobni ples, gledališče, interaktivni film in animacija) raziskuje odnos med človekom in televizijo, ob tem pa podaja družbeni komentar na človekovo naraščajočo odvisnost od tehnologije. Predstava se v razponu od banalnega do surrealističnega dotika načinov, kako televizija vpliva na človeka, in pokaže, kako lahko ta včasih postane več kot le neživa snov. Gre za zgodbo o nekem moškem in njegovem odnosu do televizije, v katerem enkrat prevlada ljubezen, drugič sovraštvo. Spust po katodni cevi nas iz njegove dnevne sobe popelje v čudežno deželo televizije, v kateri televizorji ne le govorijo, temveč želijo celo plesati. Watch iT!/Glej i.T.! ponuja na ogled širok razpon slogov, od mrzličnih izbruhov energije do nežnih, iskrenih trenutkov. Je črna komedija z družbenim komentarjem, zadnjo besedo o pomenu majhne škatle v kotu dnevne sobe pa vseeno prepušča gledalcu.

Watch iT! is a multi-media dance odyssey which examines the relationship between man and his television and told with a striking mix of hip hop and contemporary dance, theatre, interactive film and animation. Covering the banal to the surreal, it touches on aspects of how TV affects us, and the situations where it can take on more than an inanimate form. Ultimately, it is a wider social comment about our ever-growing dependence on technology. The story follows one man’s love/hate relationship with his TV as we stumble out of the living room and down the cathode ray tunnel. A TV wonderland ensues with interactive projections, televisions that talk back and ones that want to dance. Watch iT! incorporates a range of styles in one piece, undulating from frenetic sparks of energy to more soft sincere moments. It is black comedy combined with social commentary, ultimately leaving the audience to ponder how they view their own little box in the corner.
