Brave New World

cie. Sasha Sasic

Premiere: 4 Dec 2018 | Opera & Theater Madlenianum | Belgrade
Running Time: 50 min

A production featuring 4 dancers, 1 actress and 1 musician, an original music and fusion of two styles: theater and dance.


Brave New World is a dance-theater performance based on Aldous Huxley's novel of the same name. The question to which the author of the piece wants to give the answer to is quite simple: What does make us human?

Dehumanization of the new world, sterility and the absence of individuality that Huxley indicated at the beginning of the last century are nowadays, almost 100 yeast later, becoming the reality. Moreover, dehumanization is turning into hyper-humanization and individuality is overemphasized.

Brave New World is a story about a conflict of a naive man, “a savage”, with the morality and politics of the new era. Brave New World represents a clear vision of the unbalanced, technologically advanced present in which the people are cloned, socially indoctrinated and pharmacologically anaesthetized in order to be integrated as painlessly as possible into the algorithmic order, and all at the price of their freedom and their human soul. In Brave New World everyone is happy, everyone is unique and everyone is satisfied with the overall picture of their lives.
