Where nothing is in its place, lies disorder.
Where in the desired place there is nothing, lies order. ─ Brecht
Where do our thoughts come from? Do you feel connected to a system of threads with ends somehow dissolved and distributed deep in our collective reality? What map should we follow if we want ourselves not to be thorn by influences? Is there a map?

We all got caught in a world pandemic that brought confusion, fear, defense, egocentrism, despair, hope, strength, spirituality, and fearlessness. Complexity is a natural way of being in the contemporary human experience. In which we have difficulty trusting what we see, hear, and even what we think and feel. Whether we are self-absorbed or trying to be completely open for others, this complexity brings major challenges for the mind and for the body. Do we loop in our consciousness as puppets? Where can you find freedom and stillness? The dream becomes reality. Life turns into a conspiracy.
“Wired” is a solo performance, an individual attempt, and experience lost in the treads of what we call “we”. A physical body inside a black box filled with stored information. It is a search for the origin of what causes entanglement. Is life a never-ending question and can we find comfort in what we don’t know? Can we surrender to something bigger than our own sense of being? The performance is inspired by both documentary stories and science fiction and visual art. The team has created a minimalist setting where every step matters.
