Glitch is a play that can be characterized as an art essay that talks about the purposeless journey of humanity.
It’s about misunderstandings, about being stuck in a vicious cycle of sins.
It reflects the crisis of contemporary human and the world.
At the same time, it offers a significantly ecological point of view.
In March 2020, just before this synagogue along with other institutions had to be closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic,
we’ve planned to introduce a play, that can be dubbed “physical theatre” by Debris Company called Glitch.
Since this play shows beautiful scenery made by Alex Zelina, we decided to introduce it first as a short exhibition and introduce the play itself later on.
Unfortunately, the synagogue got closed on the second day of the exhibition and this art piece of Earth got stuck in its own quarantine, just like the real Earth got quarantined along with us, the people.
When we opened on the 6th of May, we have found all of the people on this destroyed Earth just hanging on.
They've survived the first crisis and it’s hard to tell what they'll have to go through in the future.
Basically, this exhibition is an unplanned activity and we couldn’t have picked a better time to have this uncanny world right here.
Since we are not just a gallery, but also a cultural center where you can experience various events, we tried to find a crossroad between the two.
Theatrical scenery can be often viewed just as a background during the play. People can see it only from a distance and only for an hour.
So we decided to introduce the scenery as a separate exhibition.
We wanted to give the audience the opportunity to see a theatre play from a different dimension and fully experience the scene.
Debris company had finished its two-year trilogy with this play and the project.
This play has never actually been seen live by the audience, but we have introduced it online, as a live stream.
This was an experiment on how to digitally capture a theatre play, which was is primarily about the live experience.
People were meant to be with the actors and performers in one place.
We hope this crisis will end soon and that we can open the doors of our institution to the public soon enough and show them both the play and the exhibition.
That's our main activity, we want to be a place where people can experience art live and not via camera.
