Information for The Employees at Southbank Centre, West End (Play). Employees of the 6000 Spaceship, under the watchful eye of a mysterious Organisation, are exploring the New Discovered - a planet far away from Earth. Who among them is human, and who is a human-like humanoid? The routine of everyday life is suddenly interrupted when, with the help of mysterious objects, a longing for Earth awakens their innermost desires. This visually stunning dark satire - perfect for fans of Kubrick - combines theatre, film and installation with flair. The story of The Employees unfolds in an undetermined near future, on a spaceship carrying people and humanoid robots, with Earth having been annihilated. Performed in Polish with English subtitles.
