The work of art thematically deals with the organization of human society, the systematization of interpersonal relationships, work efficiency and performance enhancement, mechanisms of control, control and management, communication oversaturation and the risks of destabilization and collapse. Subtopics are viewed from the perspective of individuality and collectivity, centralization and decentralization, activity and passivity. The starting point of the practical side of the project is the confrontational interface between the environment of scenic and virtual reality, attacking the possibility of the audience’s perception and testing its limits.
