The state of things – object theatre
(2024 – …)

The work is an immersive performance where the audience interacts in a playful way with the things that surround us.

A random cast of everyday objects on a table that becomes a stage: There, an objectual universe of images and sounds unfolds where Shakespearean tragedy meets material agency, our emotional memory encounters planned obsolescence, and our desires for a present and future society meet the state of things.
