Overload

A goldfish can keep its attention on a continuous basis for just two seconds. And the man? Immersed in the contemporary hyperbombardment of signs, even the human being risks not being able to concentrate on the emotions of others. Starting with the personal and artistic drama of American writer David Foster Wallace, the Underground presents an adrenaline-fuelled game of mental links that connect to each other, and in which the public is also called upon to participate actively. Awarded as Show of the Year at the Ubu Awards 2018.
