An interplanetary expedition of immigrants from outer space has landed on our planet. Members of the expedition belong to different alien species, but as a reaction to the Earth atmosphere they all gained a new protective colour, they turned completely pink so that people would not take them too “seriously”. They are exploring the city, establishing contact with the human race, teaching us their habits and learning from us, trying to exchange pink stones for money, hitchhiking the city bus, “stealing” a car from an “unsuspecting” driver, swimming in city fountains, looking for jobs, friends and lovers.
The INVASION project is not a typical theatre show. It is a game, a movement, a pink virus spreading around the world and inviting everybody to join in.
WHAT IS OUR MISSION?
The goal of the performance is to establish an “interplanetary” dialogue. To confront the audience
and the passersby with surprising creatures from outer space, let them react and use their reactions for creating a story. While the new comers are trying to deal with the surrounding objects (garbage bins, traffic signs, cars, benches…) the audience will be able to understand the basic mechanisms of their social rules and forms of communication. Aliens possess a special kind of sensibility, everything is new to them. They react in their own way to simple everyday things we have all taken for granted a long time ago. This is especially evident in the unexpected way they interact with people. With the use of improvisation and other theatrical methods the performers open a true and unpredictable dialogue with the public. The border between the performers and the observers is temporarily blurred.
