'Mahamaya Electronic Devices' is a performance that tackles all the major issues of our time: society, psychology, spirituality, artificial intelligence, identity, life, death, and of course, love.
The show, featuring electronic music and computer graphics, revolves around Ivan Vyrypaev's disruptive text composed of rapid-fire questions and answers. It's a blend of entertainment, psychological training, spiritual quest and unique experience. What kind of experience? An experience is an experience because it cannot be described in words. One must come and live it.
Mahamaya Electronic Devices has been staged in English, Ukrainian, Romanian, Russian, and Lithuanian, demonstrating how certain questions resonate with the shared human experience. We are all united in the search for truth and meaning.
"While working on the production of 'Mahamaya,' we thought about the contemporary, progressive viewer for whom the computer screen or the atmosphere of a glass office building is everyday, but who also seeks answers to questions about the world they live in and help shape," says Ivan Vyrypaev. "After all, theatre is a place where you can ask anything, and we live in a world where everyone is afraid, including asking questions".
The Polish version of Mahamaya Electronic Devices was made possible by our partners: BakerMcKenzie, Mahamaya Entertainment and Full Metal Jacket.
The project is co-financed by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (KPO) and the European Union under NextGenerationEU.
