The theme

Prometheus’ fire that now is almost invisible, but that we still carry around in our pockets, connects the past, present and future and constitutes the leading thread in the performance. It burns – in our mobile phones, behind our sockets, under our hoods. The technological environment nowadays puts a layer of artificiality between people and their natural environment as well. This layer they investigate and break down, to give you a tangible experience with a special effect.

Technology can provide us with more personal freedom and power, but also creates interdependence of things and of one another. Technology is causing problems, but it also offers possible solutions. How do we take responsibility in a world in which more and more things are getting out of hand? End User brings you imagination and issues to think about.
