The theatrical experience created by a large creative team invites the viewer to look at the world from a perspective that opens up after putting the human ego aside. During the session, twelve viewers will experience personalized and unique experiences, when with lights, sounds, audio texts recorded by the actors, smells, each participant of the performance will feel what it means to be in a vegetative state and as if to see yourself from the outside.
The performance "Vegetative state" was created based on the play of the playwright Manuela Infante, the structure of which is adapted to the various stages of the life of plants, and the essential transformations are recorded. They make it possible to change the principles of human perception of the environment and allow the participant of the performance to experience a vegetative state that engages, calms and helps to look at the world from a different angle. In the performance, the creators are looking for ways to understand the patterns of human existence as a species.
