Adapting the dystopian science fiction epic of the same name by Danish author Olga Ravn, acclaimed director Łukasz Twarkowski – a leading figure on the new Polish theatre scene – explores the subtle boundary between human and non-human, real and virtual, creating an intense theatrical experience, both visual and auditory, masterfully performed by the actors of Warsaw's STUDIO teatrgaleria.
On board a spaceship on a mission in deep space, humans and androids coexist under the watchful eye of a mysterious Organisation. Their relationships, daily work, conflicts and existential doubts emerge through fragments of memory and testimonies, in a scenic flow that questions the audience about the forms of identity and consciousness. Joanna Bednarczyk reworks the intense material of Ravn's novel, transforming it into a layered and immersive dramaturgy that intertwines philosophy and narrative tension. At a time when artificial intelligence is developing, questions about the possibility of cooperation between humans and non-human entities have never been so urgent or so relevant. The audience is free to move around the space, between screens, live images and enveloping sounds that multiply the points of view and amplify the emotional charge. More than a show, The Employees is a multisensory experience that invites us to reflect on our technological present, on the fragility of relationships and on the increasingly blurred boundary between the natural and the artificial.
