The daunting news that global unemployment might reach 200 million people by the end of next year may be the last thing on anyone’s mind as they explore [Frieze London](https://www.artsy.net/frieze-london-2016). But one of the most recognized writers of the German-speaking world, Sibylle Berg, has put the problem center-stage.

The Frieze Project (2016) is an experimental play premiering at Frieze London as part of the fair’s Projects series. The punchy, 20-minute production speculates about what will happen to all the unemployed and unwanted refugees after a fourth industrial revolution. In Berg’s first collaboration with Cologne-based artist [Claus Richter](https://www.artsy.net/artist/claus-richter)—who is best known for his playful sculptures and installations that mimic fictional childhood settings—the duo has created a dystopian scenario in which robots run our lives.
