The story takes place in the near future, in the aftermath of the singularity event, in which Ai becomes a global autonomous system that replaces human labor while charges for the service of doing it, resulting in a global economy collapse. The discovery that 55 Cancri e, an exoplanet in the constelation of Cancer, was entirely made of diamonds becomes the most popular solution for bringing perpetual wealth to humans that are at this point completely dependent on this entity. The play starts just after the diamonds flood the Earths landscapes, work is eradicated, and humans are pushed to an involuntary perpetual holidays at the beach.

AMOEBA

For two performers, amplified objects, microscopes, electronics and video
2018

Amoeba is a throbbing texture, densely populated by communities of audiovisual microorganisms, that spread through the space of the venue. By walking through this structure the audience submerges in the “micro-dramaturgie” of ephemeral gestures that overlap, leak, repel, or merge into each other, forming altogether a thick, complex polyphony ever changing in the small details. Thus the attendants become “dynamic receptors” which modulate their individual experiences by collecting the details of the given totality. The piece is multimodal environment in which the audience, the space, images, electronic sounds and concrete materials were merged into a single unity. It is about the meticulous observation of simple movements, zooming into the complexities of a living organism.
