In the distant future, the all-female Antropka spaceship races through space in search of a new planet for humanity. But what began as a rescue mission becomes a prison of control and surveillance: the AI “Momi” regulates every aspect of life - from reproduction to death. When a male embryo is “accidentally” born and sex-matched, the perfect order is shaken. The AI begins to reprogram itself, and with it the spaceship is transformed into a place somewhere between nightmare and hope.

Antropka is a full-length mixed reality theater piece with true multiplayer co-presence. All spectators, performers and virtual objects exist together in a shared real-time space - a technical breakthrough compared to previous VR-theater forms. The audience sits in the middle of a 360° green screen stage and experiences how reality and virtuality merge through Quest 3 headsets in pass-through mode. The AI “Momi” responds live to audience questions using LLM technology. A visionary theater experience that dissolves the boundaries between stage, film and virtual reality, posing existential questions about identity, control and survival.
