LITTLE THINGS

In the organizer's words:

Performance/Object Theater | Theme series TIPPING POINTS
By Kirsten Möller & Bunny Vellocet | Ages 16 and up

In a galaxy far far away, before AI was even a thing. FRIDGE SENDS SPAM. BOT ATTACK FROM THE INTERNET OF THINGS. No one on stage, just old kitchen appliances in a frenzy: they buzz, crack and network. Toasters, blenders and refrigerators rehearse the cyber rebellion, infect the theater space and declare humans to be the fault of the system. We meet them as they gain consciousness and become independent, as they learn to communicate with each other and formulate their fears and desires. Together they develop what they understand by a utopian language of the future and invite the audience to a sci-fi concert of things.

"Little Things" brings together conventional household appliances on stage that everyone has at home and makes them the focus of the evening. In a montage of pop culture quotes, memes and anarchist text fragments, the performing objects philosophize about art and intelligence, big emotions and political self-organization in the face of man-made multiple crises. Between object theater, installation and soundscape, we deal with the autonomous becoming of small things and look at the moment when the shy little toaster, the passive-aggressive coffee machine and the oracular microwave become aware of themselves and enter the revolutionary cyberwar. HUMAN ERROR DETECTED - HUMAN : ERROR
