In the near future, citizens are trained to survive a potential collapse of society for 72 hours without organised assistance from the State. At a testing centre, three citizens undergo physical, cognitive and behavioural tests until an “Exceptional Event” turns the exercise into a real-life situation. When protocols cease to provide answers, the citizens are confronted with the limits of autonomy taken to the extreme. Between dystopian fiction and catastrophic comedy, Autonomia 72 confronts the State’s ambition to provide total protection with the unpredictability of an increasingly uncertain future.
Acessibility: Audio-described performance on December 20 at 5pm.
