Do you know who you are? Where are you going? What are you looking for? The old oracle of Delphi, before offering clues, had an inscription that exhorted its visitors: “Know thyself.” And Susanne Kennedy, one of the most radical creators on the European stage, who puts characters with masks, doubles and playback voices at the center of her theater in pieces that ask what it means to be human, now proposes to the Lliure audience a new twist in his work: a journey with virtual reality glasses towards a digital oracle. An immersive and psychedelic journey between the myth of Plato’s cave and Delphi that takes viewers in the foyer of the Lliure through different levels to prepare them to ask questions to an oracle in which the future appears in fractal algorithms.
With virtual reality glasses, the audience is drawn into a 35-minute hallucinatory journey into mysterious rooms, and walks through tunnels that, like wormholes, cross space-time, crossing mythological-spiritual spaces until they reach new planets. under new heavens and a new oracle.
A journey of self-awareness about the limits of humanity in which questions crowd together: Where do I start? Where do I end up? What constitutes reality, what is fiction, what is virtual? After all, isn’t the richest virtual reality experience we know today our ordinary, biologically evolved form of awakened consciousness?
