XI A-festival: Vilnius Kinetic Theatre “Hommo in Maxima” (Lithuania)

The dance performance "Hommo in Maxima" is an experiment of the Vilnius Kinetic Theatre. For the first time in Estonia.

VU Kinetic Theatre dance performance “Hommo in Maxima” is an experiment that tries to cover the evolution of four values after Lithuania’s accession to the European Union. Love, affection, safety and understanding of the meaning of life. Maybe we call love just a fun party experience? Maybe affection is just addiction to brands and safety is granted in- and out-group squabbles. Then we should not look for meaning, because it is buried under the gravestone of artificial intelligence, answers and feelings of personal redundancy.
Deus ex machina is dead. Now starts the formation of hommo ex machina situation, which seeks to become an emotionally complete instruction for use. Values are superseded by a written codex of “life” – administrational instructions. They are squeezed in an Excel spreadsheet in clamps of mandatory productivity. This fits our mandatory criteria. Alas, it does not care for honesty. Thus, it degenerates into Hommo in Maxima.
