This visually striking dark satire \u2013 perfect for fans of Kubrick \u2013 seamlessly blends theatre, film, and installation with bold creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set in an undefined near future,The Employees<\/em> takes place aboard a spaceship inhabited by humans and humanoid robots, long after Earth has been destroyed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story unfolds through the fragmentary scraps of reports left by the spaceship crew. Under these extreme conditions, a closed community is forced to confront questions: What separates the human from the non-human? Is the mind simply the brain, or something more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
