Bertolt-Brecht-Platz 1, Berlin

The world needs a fresh start! The five hackers agree on this. But how do the masses get out of their lethargy? Regardless of whether people want to be saved at all, no matter how megalomaniac or naive their plans to save the world may come across, the five nerds hack what it takes, because — the wonder world of cyberspace! In Sibylle Berg's version of a not-so-distant future, all areas of human life are digitized, catalogued, measured and exploited for the sake of profit. And they're just waiting to be taken over with a few good remote code executions — a type of digital remote control. The only question is: By whom? And for what? The five nerds are of course the good guys, beating the system with their own means and causing it to collapse due to a revolutionary cyber attack. Finally: “If you want to win, you have to learn from people who own the planet, want to ruin it and then leave it.”

In her latest novel, Sibylle Berg fictitiously turns trends and facts of the present day one screw further and director Kay Voges brings them on stage true to the motto: It takes a revolution that you can dance to!

In the critics' survey of “Theater heute”, the production was honored for the “Video of the Year.”

Please note: This production uses videos with quick cuts and flashing lights (stroboscopic-like).
