The story of The Employees unfolds in an undetermined near future, on a spaceship carrying people and humanoid robots, with Earth having been annihilated. The crew of the spaceship 6000, overseen by a mysterious organization, is on a mission to explore a distant planet called the New Discovered. Among them are both humans and humanoid robots, though it’s unclear who’s who. This dark satire follows the crew’s reflections on consciousness and identity through fragmented reports left by the spaceship’s crew.
Directed by Lukasz Twarkowski, this visually striking adaptation of Olga Ravn's acclaimed novel offers a mix of theater, film and installation in an exploration of what it means to be human.
