Techno-Zombies inhabits the threshold between the real and the virtual, the body and the code, the visible and the spectral. Inspired by the aesthetics of science fiction, video game universes, and post-human imagery, the performance plunges into a realm where perception fragments and reality wavers.

We start from the premise that a single space can contain multiple layers of existence. Like someone crossing portals or game levels, we move from the everyday to the supernatural, from flesh to algorithm. This sensory confusion—where dream and wakefulness, avatar and subject blur—gives rise to a contemporary epic: stories created to make sense of the pain of isolation, digital exhaustion, memory collapse, and bodily failure.

A territory where affections become ambiguous and identity dissolves in loops. Bodies become mirages and emotions dissolve into algorithms.

In this universe, the characters do not explain or reveal themselves. They are opaque, intermittent figures, traversed by invisible forces. They are not fully agents but rather surfaces—interfaces—upon which we project our desires, fears, and failures. They move in loops, like technological zombies trapped between channels, timelines, and overlapping realities. They inhabit an undefined place.
