This adaptation of the novel 1984 by George Orwell, an essential work of dystopian literature, is a contemporary version of themes that the author had already anticipated in his writing and that remain relevant today. 1984 maintains its significance through its critique of oppression and totalitarian control. The staging, directed by Gaële Boghossian and Paulo Correia, addresses mass surveillance, the manipulation of information and the restriction of freedoms in a direct manner.
The production blends theater, visual arts, digital creation and music, using multimedia technologies to strengthen the dramaturgy and offer an immersive experience. It seeks to revive the message of the novel, underscoring the urgency of recognizing that issues of control and repression are becoming increasingly tangible in our current context.
