An audiovisual performance in unconventional spaces, complemented by technology, about modern man and one of the biggest addictions. It is a theatrical comic about today's forms of communication and the speed of existence. The mosaic of situations is created with elements of action theatre, street theatre, dance and plastic. The director of the performance, Rūta Bunikytė, is one of the most prolific theatre artists of the younger generation of Lithuanian theatre, who pays great attention to the contemporary stage and the relevance of the work to today's society.
The play uses the stories of 8 days in the life of the actors and the "new earth" they create. They are of different ages, social groups and lifestyles, but they are all united by their routines, addictions and fears - the fiction of their reality. A parallel between real and social life. These stories are like a module of one person's way of life.
A young couple living trapped in a medium of short images.
A woman who sleeps with her eyes open.
A middle-aged couple whose life together has become a mechanical existence.
An elderly couple lost in a new era.
A man in a box.
"You are the first person I say hello to when I wake up in the morning and the last person I say goodbye to before I close my eyes. You are my humblest friend and my worst enemy. You are my happiness and my poison. I cannot live without you, but I hate what you have turned me into. It is time for us to part."
The phone became our other half. It is the magic box of our tools, our secrets, our desires. We couldn't imagine our lives without it. Habits, communication, relationships have changed, but the human nature for freedom has not. Everything was great until it became unbearable. This ideological love began to turn into a panicky addiction. It was time to divorce or to create a new world module.
This is the new earth. Will it work out or will it have to wait to be left behind? If the Creator were a medium, what kind of human being would he create? Who will win: human consciousness or artificial intelligence?
