The Frequency of Fire is a short science-fiction play about the human condition in a dystopian world governed by technocracies that control natural resources and turn human vital signs into computational data. Confronted with this machinery of measurement and control, the play raises a question about what remains irreducible in human experience, that which no measurement can fully capture.
