Welcome to the archive. In a world where lines of code shape the reality as much as bricks and mortar, Urban Requiem is a performance that questions the human condition in this hyper-connected yet paradoxically isolated digital metropolis.


Urban Requiem is set in this eerily familiar landscape - a place where society functions but doesn't really live.

Throughout the performance, the audience is asked to recognize their own role in this digital requiem.

Are humans just variables in a vast urban algorithm, or can they be the developers of a more compassionate codebase?

Urban Requiem is a call to action for programmers and citizens alike. It asks to examine the scripts that govern life and consider:

Is it time for a radical redesign of society?

Urban Requiem is a funeral for today's society that has forgotten how to really live. It is both a powerful memorial and a hopeful manifesto, calling for people to break out of their virtual graves.

It calls humanity to rediscover the raw, imperfect beauty of real relationships and calls for embracing flawed love and finding oneself in the labyrinth of modern existence.
