The assembly line never stops, the pace keeps increasing, and our performance is continuously being optimised. Every two minutes, a car leaves the factory; every two months, a new theatre production premieres. Consumption creates jobs that further fuel consumption, while the gap between social classes continues to widen.
An actor and two union workers from two German premium car factories operating in Hungary turn their gaze toward this structure. Three personal stories that now intersect. In this state of constant acceleration, could it already be an act of solidarity and resistance to take time to get to know one another—and to imagine ourselves in someone else’s position?
