Deep Fake is an experimental performance at the intersection of documentary theatre and live art, immersing the audience in the repetitive and enclosed process of creating digital avatars.
The performers, following instructions dictated by a mechanized system, gradually lose their individuality and reveal their helplessness.
In this atmosphere, you are no longer just a spectator — you become a participant in an experiment where it’s unclear who controls what is happening: you or the system.
Over time, the process becomes a study of the human crisis, exploring themes of alienation and the breakdown of real connection in the digital age.
It is a story of how digital reality can distort our identity and lived experience — and yet also reveals our deep and persistent need for authentic connection and meaning.
