DEEP FAKE
mockumentary performance
we're going to Avignon!
Hello everyone, we are the Deep Fake performance team! We’re preparing to present our show at the Festival Off Avignon — the largest theatre festival in the world. Participating in it is a chance to step onto the international stage, find new partners, critics, and producers, and introduce audiences to bold experiments at the intersection of art and technology.
We believe that theatre today is a space for conversations about the future.
Deep Fake is an attempt to reflect on where technology is leading us and how we are changing along the way.
The performances will take place from July 16 to 26 at LaScierie Theatre.
You can purchase tickets via the link below.

«Deep Fake» is an experimental performance blending documentary theater and performance art, immersing the audience in the confined and monotonous process of filming digital avatars. The setting resembles a studio space: simple props, green screen, soft lighting. The performers, almost like machines, follow strict instructions—they sit motionless, speak with half-smiles, and breathe through their noses—revealing their powerlessness in the face of the mechanistic demands of the process. As the performance progresses, the boundaries between reality and fiction blur, creating a growing sense of isolation and derealization for the audience. Gradually, the process itself transforms into an exploration of human crisis, touching on themes of alienation and the breakdown of genuine connections in the digital age.
Modern society is experiencing a severe crisis in communication. Even when physically sharing a space, people often struggle to fully sense their presence and feel distant from those around them, despite being in close proximity. The human brain is so overloaded with information and occupied with processing it that it creates an invisible barrier between itself and reality. The rapid development of artificial intelligence is not the cause of this selfisolation; rather, it reveals fears deeply rooted in human nature.
This message urges the audience to reflect on the extent of their own self-isolation and consider its causes. The shared experience of derealization within the performance aims to inspire viewers to examine their instinctive fear of digitization and to begin exploring the root issue of loneliness as a consequence of the breakdown of genuine communicative connections.
promotion of the performance
deep fake city
A concept that resonates with the idea of the performance and ways of interacting with the city:
• charachter Chromakeyman
• posters Fake News
• advertising video on a billboard
• chromakey mask for Instagram
The project’s creative team, together with local media, developed a special project featuring the character "chromakeyman," which both aligned with the main theme and carried its own unique storyline.
More than 10 events (including football match viewings, Tbilisi Open Air, and the ZEG Storytelling Festival) were accompanied by performative appearances of the green man.
A separate large advertising campaign featuring chromakeyman was launched on billboards across Tbilisi.
