CODICEFIONDA (IT) dram. cons. Agrupación Señor Serrano (ES)
One button. A player. A screen.
Here are the new barbarians. Incomprehensible to the eyes of the adult world. Teenagers, hyper-connected and fragile, terrified and attracted by the image of themselves on “social media”, experts in “sexting”, “video-games” and “binge drinking”, owners of Smartphones as an extension of their body. But what do we know about today’s teenagers?
A narrative short circuit from the origins of the video game to the origins of the iGeneration. An immersive experience in which to meet today’s teenagers through the use of new technologies. A path of creation that tells our identities – real and virtual – thanks to the comparison between generations.
In this performance the audience will find himself in relation to them. You can choose whether to confirm or question your expectations, fears and prejudices. The ultimate goal will be a “performative game” to generate an unprecedented and intimate encounter. PLAY ME (ORIGINS PROJECT) is the result of a work on the biographies of young people met in the stage of research and dramaturgical development between Turin and Milan.
What the sociologist Morin defines as “cinema of total authenticity”.
ZONA K presents a new production: PLAY ME (Origins Project). It continues the direction already taken with Generazione gLocale in 2017 with the involvement of children, the use of new stage devices and the creative and dramaturgical support of important names in the international scene, for this project the award-winning Catalan collective Agrupación Señor Serrano.

MAMMALIAN DIVING REFLEX (CA)
Created together with a group of students from ITAS Giulio Natta in Milan, The Last Days Before Mars imagines the last minutes on Earth and what we are willing to sacrifice for our dear, sweet, beautiful dying planet.
The Last Minutes Before Mars is a live performance, which includes 360° video, about the exquisite ennui of life on Earth as we speed towards a terrifying future.
It is a criticism of those who suggest that the future of humanity depends on its diffusion throughout the universe. According to the Mammalians it is unlikely that solutions to terrestrial problems can be found on distant planets with hostile conditions. The current obsession with the colonisation of Mars is considered a panic-stricken response to the difficult problems humanity faces on earth: climate change, a collapsing ecosystem and the fact that many scientists believe that we are in the midst of another mass extinction of life on Earth, etc. But rather than trying to overcome our problems and probably produce a whole new set of even more difficult problems, it might be better to settle down and understand how to “terraform” the earth, making it a more hospitable habitat for humans and all others lives we rely on. Why make Mars more like Earth when there is the task of making Earth more like Earth?

Mammalian Diving Reflex is a Toronto-based company known for its intellectually stimulating performance. Founded in 1993 under the artistic direction of the writer and director Darren O’Donnell, Mammalian Diving Reflex reflects on the private and social dimension of language, thought and information. The company has produced various projects in Canada, Japan, Australia, Singapore, India, the United States, Ireland, England and many other European countries. Their projects include Diplomatic Immunities, pppeeeaaaccceee, The Children’s Choice Awards, Who Shot Jacques Lacan?, Dare Night, Slow Dance with Teacher, Nightwalks with Teenagers, and Haircuts by Children. The company’s artistic style recognises a performative dimension in every daily gesture and explores aesthetics and society, creating unusual alliances between the world of art and that of young people. Mammalian Diving Reflex’s research takes the form of performances, collective experiences, theoretical texts and happenings.
