“Silent Speech Interfaces, Mind Uploading, High-Performance Prosthetics, and Immortality Genes – the possibilities of optimizing mind and body, communication and work environment are today as radical as never before. While some dream of the Übermensch, others fear the downfall of humanity. Are we really facing a new stage of evolution? How much possibility or absurdity lies in the relationship between humans and technology? A theater project about the dream of perfection and the longing for immortality.”
