ARMAGEDON: The Very Last Show

There is just one hour left. The Earth is about to be hit by an asteroid the size of Brno. But according to scientists, even such a tiny and insignificant rock will destroy all life on Earth – except moss piglets*.

„We truly appreciate that you’ve decided to spend the last hour of your life in a place dearest to your – and our – hearts: a theatre. Now that I think about it, we probably didn’t have to charge for tickets. But after all, you are the audience, we are the professionals – and business is business.“

If we knew that we have just one hour left to live, what would we do? Would that encourage us to try something that would be forgotten instantly? Would we confess our love to a person we’ve been yearning for for years? And what about punching that bastard who bullied everybody at school? Enjoy contemporary circus, dance, music, and stand-up in the final performance you will — according to the scientists — ever see in your life.

Everyone had a choice about how to spend the final hour on this planet. Be it with family, alone, or somewhere that would make the end of the world feel „worth“ enjoying. Each person in this room can hardly ignore the approaching asteroid – yet together, they will share an hour they will not forget until they die.

*Moss piglets are micro-invertebrates that have adapted to life in extreme conditions. They survive thanks to their resistance to both high and low temperatures, lack of air, and dehydration. They can even withstand radiation levels that would be fatal to any other creature.
