Dora Komenda (HR): Konstrukt
The Aerial equipment in the show is fragile, unsafe and unsuitable for use. The characters are fools who keep trying to perform on it, and invest a lot of effort into a battle that is already lost. They ultimately face a question – how to deal with failure?
Schedule
At what point do you stop trying, give up and accept failure? How do you move on? The show speaks about freedom that comes with a realization: the concepts of success and failure are merely constructs of the mind.
