WORK WORK WORK: Brothers exalt thee to freedom - Studio Dries Verhoeven

What is our working body for these days? At tech giants, algorithms search 24/7 for the largest possible profit margin. Jobs are being taken over by robots and forms of artificial intelligence. Are we still useful? Will there be a revival of the labor movement, or should we accept the inevitable automation? This multidisciplinary performance can be seen continuously in Frascati.

Have we now become redundant?

In an automated distribution center, ten Bulgarian performers, who have experience as migrant workers, sing a historic labor song for eight hours. Their work stoppages are derived from those at e-commerce company Amazon.

By juxtaposing robotics and singing, the performance questions the value of the working body, the labor movement and the legacy of socialism in times of automation. Visitors can attend the performance for as long as they want.
