Useless Things
21. 11. 20:00
Spielraum Kollektiv / Akcent Festival and Theatre Night.
Useless present or future? Useless progress. Useless, me, you. What from 2020 will be necessary in 10 years? Or in 500 years? What will be left of us for future generations? Waste or treasure? What about Christmas? Have you done your shopping yet?
We are setting up a tele-bridge between an empty theatre and overcrowded households. We will move to the Archa of the future and look at the past of 2020. Until dreams come true, in the middle of an adventurous apocalypse. We have everything and we can have more – a pocket full of useless things, a handbag, a bag, a living room, a whole house! To have or not to have?
