“ What if Europe’s future is already China Present ”
A Hundred Gazes invites you to inhabit speculative worlds where the human condition is being radically reshaped. We imagine a speculative world in the year of 2046, where central Europe become a mirror of China in 2026.
At the heart of the performance, We invite audiance to to look into the eyes of one another, to confront the eyes of machines, and to encounter the gaze of the cultural “other." What will becomes of humanity when our human love is rendered in silicon, solitude is rebranded as desire, and emotions are mass-produced? In the age of automatic intelligence, even companionship requires a subscription—one that always comes with an expiry date.
What is real and what is hyperreal is constantly merging. The performance becomes a laboratory where we witness and question these emerging realities before they become our everyday.
“Krywaniu, Krywaniu wysoki... Clouds as lost thoughts, streams as unpaid tears. A haunting Polish folk song performed by Przemek Przestrzelski, He sang with the White Voice-an ancient 'singing-cry' (śpiewokrzyk) born in the fields of Eastern Europe and echoed across the Tatra valleys”
A Hundred Gazes is a collaboration and production of Stary Theatre Krakow
