However I longed for a new utopia

mightysociety5 is a future scenario. It shows how eleven people in their twenties survive in a neo-liberal dystopia. Every character in this world dreams his highly personal utopian dream. Angel dreams of the perfect body, Kidult of the ultimate internet date. Leon and Lena plunge into a hedonistic paradise, while Hitomi and Kawasaka believe in a love between robot and human. Eleven characters, eleven utopias. Eleven quests for the next redemption, a free escape route, the ultimate intoxication.

mightysociety5 takes place in a specially designed installation that offers access to a limited number of visitors. This installation, this "house", consists of several spaces in which the audience must find its own way and determine the sequence and starting time of its highly personal performance.
