The One(s) Who Never Lived

The One(s) Who Never Lived invites the audience to reflect on the fragility of human relationships in a world that feels increasingly disconnected. On stage, the performers move between production and destruction, discipline and collapse. Their mechanical, synchronized gestures evoke industrial processes, caught between detachment and a longing for (re)connection. The work creates a space where the impact of isolation, collective fatigue, and the impulse to resist or reach out can be felt. The dialogue between the natural and the industrial, between the human and the mechanized, highlights the coexistence of these opposing forces and the shared experiences they evoke.
