Latvian multimedia artist Izolde Cesniece and Polish playwright and theatre director Igor Gorzkowski work together on the soap opera phenomenon and its impact on the modern society and explore where the reality ends and fiction starts. The research for production is based on American writer’s Ray Bradbury novel “Fahrenheit 451”.

Spectators enter a room, where good-looking and nicely dressed characters are screened on the walls. Audience may feel like at home watching their favorite soap opera on TV before their comfort is disturbed by actors’ questions to them.

Izolde Cesniece (born in 1970) is a Latvian multimedia artist who usually expresses her ideas in performances based on social or political topics. She enjoys limited time frame, accidental process and unforeseen ending of the performances and she likes to keep her work open and spontaneous. The audience is one of the most important components of the artist’s work.

Igor Gorzkowski (born in 1971) is a Polish playwright and theatre director, author of various interdisciplinary projects and installations, co-founder of Studio Teatralne Koło Association. He is the first artist in Poland who started to work in non-theatrical spaces and venues. His individual theatre language is remarkably private assuming nearly intimate contact and relation between performers and the audience.
