Who else would be able to save this world?

Sibylle Berg: RCE #RemoteCodeExecution

Four computer nerds want to hack the digital surveillance and suppression system with their own resources and are developing the RCE app, a kind of network for preparing disinformation and manipulating money flows and supply chains. The app is intended to prepare the global revolution... With grim imagery (Sibylle Berg) touches on topics such as impoverishment, environmental destruction, the shift to the right and autocracy. She wants to capture the systemic madness and actually everything that the criticism of neoliberalism has had to offer for decades... Kay Voges succeeds in combining all of this by merging image and sound into a total work of art, the elements of which fit together precisely like clockwork grab... You've never seen theater fused with media imagery like this before." (Deutschlandfunk)

This RCE evening takes us visually and enthrallingly into a rabbit hole of algorithms, where the distinction between humans and machines is no longer so easy. Science fiction, that much is certain, is not.” (The Daily Mirror)

A psychedelic AI image flood installation that hacks directly into the synapses and psychological systems of the audience... (Berg's characters) are secret agents of discontent, their system sabotage is the megalomania fantasy of all anarchist hackers: using targeted hacks to bring the financial system to collapse "Redirect and stop the flow of goods and incite the unhappy masses to revolt." (Southgerman newspaper)

“What a hassle. But the result is worth every effort. The creepy techno fairy tale that Kay Voges distills from Sibylle Berg's novel is a lot of fun - obviously for the author too... In its video and image aesthetics, this production is nothing less than sensational." (night review)

«The brave new world that RCE presents is not a very distant fiction; the potentates and oligarchs of platform feudalism, who already dominate most of the world-wide wonderland, are all too clearly recognizable. In RCE, the real world is completely taken over by its digital companies, and the chipped people in it only depend on chilling entertainment and ambitious optimization apps. (Berlin newspaper)

“‘Consumption’, ‘capital’ and ‘digitization’ are some of the bad buzzwords (Bergs). And of course she’s damn right.” (Theater of Time)

“We have never seen anything so spectacular and shocking in the best sense of the word on a German stage.” (Berliner Morgenpost)
