SYSTEM ERROR

Things don’t always go as planned, neither in the real nor the digital world. Unfortunately, the undo button only works in the digital world. Why shouldn’t people have the right to re-start or heedlessly blame system errors?

This is the first production Teater Manu and Jo Strømgren Kompani creates together, addressing meetings between people and how they are constantly complicated by linguistic challenges, digital mediums, and new norms for what’s accepted to talk about and not.

The performance is neither a moral lesson nor a scrutiny into sociology, but rather an attempt to mirror a melodramatic era with big emotions and no content. Jo Strømgren’s dramas always aim to reveal the banalities of modern human behaviour.

For those who like theatre with intellectual depth and curiosity – here is a warning – “System Error” is only an observation tower where we you can contemplate, recognise, and perhaps feel a bit shameful.
