Without the slightest cutting-edge technology — just a few objects and performance tricks — two performers and a flesh-and-blood 'artificial intelligence' invite audiences into the intersidereal space where they appear to be stranded, probably in orbit. They recount the conquest of space from the origins of the universe to the present, watching the planet's agony from a distance.
The show is at once hilarious and ominous, holding audiences in perfect equilibrium. Between a piano and a small puppet-theatre booth, the performers reproduce sounds and noises with their mouths, mime asteroids, weightlessness and blast-offs — as if playing in their bedroom. Runtime: 55 minutes. For all audiences from age 6. Post-show meeting on 22 April.
