Planet B

In the organizer's words:

Planet B

by Yael Ronen and Itai Reicher (2023)/ Studio production of the HfMDK Frankfurt a.M.

40 million years in the future: a humanoid species re-enacts the legendary myth of how their ancestors, the primitive species Homo sapiens, disappeared from Earth and arrived on Planet B: Their story begins on Earth in the 21st century, where the climate catastrophe is raging unchecked and many species are already extinct. Suddenly, aliens appear and inform humanity that "Project Earth" unfortunately cannot be extended. Humans had dominated and exploited the earth for too long. As a result, they decide to pick up on the mass extinction of species heralded by humans and continue with it. This time, however, a reality TV show format is to decide which species become extinct and which belong to the surviving five percent. The aliens randomly select a human to represent their species. Humans compete with pandas, chickens, ants, foxes, crocodiles and bats in a race of species to repopulate the Earth...
