Łukasz Twarkowski: The Employees

Łukasz Twarkowski, one of Poland’s most exciting directors, makes his hotly anticipated London debut with this unique adaptation of Olga Ravn’s Booker Prize-nominated dystopian sci-fi epic The Employees.

The story of The Employees unfolds in an undetermined near future, on a spaceship carrying people, humanoid robots – and a collection of strange alien objects that they have found on a distant planet.

Employees of the 6000 Spaceship, under the watchful eye of a mysterious Organisation, are exploring the New Discovered – a planet far away from Earth. The routine of everyday life is suddenly interrupted when, with the help of mysterious objects, a longing for Earth awakens their innermost desires, and causes them to question the very nature of their own consciousness.

Performed in Polish with English subtitles.
