POSSIBLE WORLDS

December 11, 2026

Time: 18:00

Venue: Kana Theatre - free admission (registration) And availability

We live at the beginning of the space age. We are witnessing a great change. Surrounded by media reports about the war, helpless in the face of a crisis of imagination and a lack of adequate narratives, we try to identify possible variants and tell the story anew - to find a way to forget at least for a moment our fears and the fears of the present, to regain our agency and influence the course of events. Is it possible to think of this world differently? Four representatives of the human species, guided by the clues of artificial intelligence, take up the final game. The stakes are on everything, and the place of action is Planet Earth, this strange escape room... The show is full of surprising twists, games of conventions, dialogue with pop culture, bitter irony and black humor. Monologues are interspersed with collective scenes dominated by movement, singing, dancing, fun and music. It all comes down to a surprising finale. “I hope the next planet can't be dealt with like that,” says one of the characters.

Performance nominated for the “Amber Ring” 2023, in the category of best performance of the season.
