Miloco reprising La Machine, May 16 @ 19:30

Miloco is continuing with La Machine, which is in rep at Divadlo Komedie. For those of you that haven’t seen it already, I would highly recommend going. It’s non-verbal and a very cool production. Miloco devised the work through a series of improvisations and discussions and it has a post-modern, sci-fi feel to it while at the same time maintaining a core of human interaction and emotion.

Tickets are 150/100 Kc

More details and the Miloco press release are below:

Conceived by Miloco’s international ensemble, La Machine is an original multi-media performance which explores the desperation of lovers living in a dystopic near-future; it is a story of how their fantasies become a substitute for living and perhaps lead to a journey of survival.

Alternating between live performance and video, La Machine tells the story of Hurtus and Lili are desperately trying to keep living in near-impossible circumstances.

Science fiction is a genre largely ignored in the theatre, yet it is a genre that closely addresses anxieties and concerns about our world at present. La Machine is not the science fiction of spaceships and aliens, but rather that which asks questions about our current world, the direction it is taking and how we can remain human and hopeful when so much appears so bleak.
