The rehearsals are in their final stage, the batteries of the tablet computers are being charged so that everything will be ready for the opening of DIE MASCHINE IN MIR (VERSION 1.0) at the Burgtheater on New Year’s Eve. You can already find a trailer here:
Quite spontaneously, the Burgtheater in Vienna decide to produce a show for New Year’s Eve: Michael Maertens will play a monologue by Irish company Dead Centre and Mark O’Connell (original title: To Be A Machine). Everything is Corona, everything is digital.
The text deals with transhumanism, with humans and machines and how both merge, and with our old desire to defeat death.
Please find more information on the Burgtheater website.
The German translation of the text was accomplished by Bochert Translations.
