Some Viewers May Find This Distracting, Kristóf Kelemen

In the organizer's words:

Our attention has become the oil of the 21st century. It is not only advertisements that vie for it, but also mass-produced political messages and social campaigns. Based on Bertolt Brecht's play "The Measure", a journalist, an Instagram blogger, a TikTok influencer and an activist reflect on the hidden mechanisms of the online world, which was once about freedom and accessible information and has now become the playground of big tech corporations. In the spirit of Brecht, Kristóf Kelemen's documentary theater piece reminds us that our perception of reality is changeable, especially in the age of the Internet, and invites the audience to enjoy the rare luxury of focusing on just one thing in the theater space: the events unfolding on an empty stage.
