La Distance

It is the year 2077. While humanity struggles to survive on Earth, plagued by economic precariousness and the consequences of climate change, part of the human population lives on Mars. Back on Earth, a father strives to maintain a relationship with his daughter who has gone to the Red Planet. Through this dystopian yet not-improbable scenario, Tiago Rodrigues – star theatre director and art director of the Avignon Festival – explores the consequences of our choices as much as the pitfalls of intergenerational communication. The production, which premiered this year in Avignon, is co-produced by the Pilsen festival.
