Quick Info
In Sibylle Berg's novel RCE, the world we live in continues to go down the drain. Capitalism has become the only option. The ‘best of all systems’ has helped a few to absurd wealth and deprived many of a dignified existence. Crisis is the norm. Every movement is documented, every piece of land privatised and every thought controlled.
Five hackers meet to put an end to the madness. They program a code for a computer attack that will cause the system to crash and mobilise the masses (RCE: insertion of unwanted program code into computer systems via security gaps). And, surprisingly, they succeed. But what follows? Can humanity be saved after the collapse of the system? What does a world without capitalism look like? Sibylle Berg, one of the most important authors of our time, writes furiously and relentlessly about the neoliberal absurdity of a not-so-distant future. Director Lisa Nielebock returns to the Schauspielhaus Bochum with this word-wielding and playful work.
