This musical is a digital detox for our brains

from Q with Tom Power

Are we all addicted to the internet? Digital technology feels like something we can’t live without, but with all the physical and mental health issues it's creating, it’s also starting to feel like something we can’t live with. A new production of the musical “Octet” is looking at this dilemma. One of its stars, the Dora Award-winning stage and musical theatre actor Hailey Gillis, sits down with guest host Talia Schlanger to tell us how the musical uses the human voice to explore our internet addictions, and why she thinks the play is a detox for our brains.
