»Sometime, somewhere, I don't remember, in one of these rooms. In a chat, in an AOL room, or maybe a bit later. Maybe in Warcraft of Minecraft or whatever these spacecrafts are called. Or maybe in a nation by the far ends of the borderlands. Second Life perhaps? Way back when I still believed the World Wide Web could become a utopia. The endless expanse, a world without borders. Without all the spam, the pop-up ads. The always same porn…It all sounded quite nice. It beeped briefly. Chhhrrr.beeebdibeeedib. No. It did not do that anymore. It must have been different.«
Drama, digital imagery and songs come together in this theatre evening to create an intimate setting. The stage is extended by a computer game developed specifically for the evening, in which actors search for the boundaries of digital worlds while encountering melancholic avatars. This experiment promises a joint trip in the realms of digital and analogue myths. But this is by no means just about computer games; it's about the places we look for when we set off. And about the stories we tell ourselves on our return.
With Oliver Chomik, Anna Klimovitskaya, Željko Marovic
