It's premiere day!
Today is the first session of ‘Love and Information’ at TAGV, and we will also be there tomorrow and Saturday, always at 9:30 p.m. This play was read in two sessions of the ‘Reading Theatre with Science’ initiative, and now we are finally bringing it to the stage!
‘Love and Information’ by English playwright Caryl Churchill is an unusual but deeply familiar dramatic text, without a clear plot and refusing any kind of linear interpretation. Between channel surfing and Instagram, the rapid succession of fragmentary scenes finds cohesion precisely – and as the title indicates – in ‘love’ and ‘information,’ themes around which scenes and characters gravitate. It is a play written in and for the age of information (and misinformation).
Through the (de)structure of the work, the fundamental idea it seeks to represent is the dizzying instability and impermanence of the present, on which we base our existences. The rapid technological development of recent decades has created new ways of relating to the reality in which we live, in which it appears more fragmented and dispersed. On the borders between the real and the virtual, the far and the near, truth and falsehood, these concepts become diffuse and blend together indistinctly.
