The Employees
Directed by: Łukasz Twarkowski
STUDIO theatregallery
Poland

Performance-installation by the Polish director Łukasz Twarkowski, based on a dystopian science-fiction, invites to immerse in an intense, multi-sensory experience.

The story of „The Employees” unfolds in an undetermined near future, on a spaceship carrying people and humanoid robots. A closed community is forced to confront questions about the differences between the human and the non-human, and about the essence of consciousness.

„It’s a wild ride.” —Newsweek

A poetic dystopia as fascinating as it is relevant to understanding the mechanics of human nature. An incisive and memorable multimedia performance.
