Flash-mob opera in the rhythm of techno-optimism
Keep moving forward and as fast as possible. Don't stop. To move but not to move. Born while driving, from birth attached to the accumulator of movement. Apostles of techno-optimism, priestesses of acceleration. They celebrate their life on scooters and spread an undying faith in techno-optimism. But from time to time a crisis comes. One of the characters begins to eat away at techno-skepticism and begins to slow down. An intervention in public space, a dystopian-technocratic vibe from the bottom of the abyss of civilizational sadness.
