PEREGRINUS

A wandering theatre show by the KTO Theatre, inspired by poetic works of T.S. Eliot.
The show depicts a single day in the life of an individual of the 21st century. The contemporary “Everyman”, whose life is “suspended” between Home and Work for a corporation, identifies his or her “pathway through life” as a “pathway to work”. The peregrination in search of the meaning of life comes into view through everyday toil, deprived of spirituality, love and beauty. The world of the “Pererginus” is a “digital” civilization – sad, terrifying and grotesque, where consumerism turns into a dominant religion. A shop window is the home of the Peregrinus of the 21st century. A mobile character of the show exposes the adventures of the protagonist in various contexts of urban space. Homo Peregrinus is a formatted human being stripped of emotionality, predictable and bereft of individual characteristics.
