A vivarium is a shot at survival. It’s hope for a lengthy, successful symbiosis on this beautiful blue planet. Because unless we, humans, as a species, decide to finally do something, we will lose our homes in a moment. This is not fiction, but an inevitability.
This production is unique for the Estonian theater scene – it combines elements of technological and traveling theater. Arriving at the theater, the guest will open the Vivarium website on their phone, leading them to the Sakala 3 theater house. A journey filled with surprises will take the audience to different rooms and give them a chance to make decisions and re-evaluate their points of view. The central theme then becomes: how do we notice the information bubble around us and how do we make sure that it doesn’t become too restrictive for us?
