Valmiera Theatre premieres production about life with technology

Valmiera Theatre has recently presented its newest production, dedicated to the modern human's relationship with technology. The play, which has just had its premiere, invites audiences to consider how many hours a day are spent looking at the screens of smart devices.

Dependence on screens

The production raises the question of how dependent contemporary society has become on digital technology — smartphones, tablets and other devices that have become an inseparable part of daily life. At the heart of the play is a reflection on how people's lives would change if the use of technology were limited or given up entirely.

Relationships with people or screens

One of the play's central questions is whether people today form closer bonds with other human beings or with the screens through which they maintain contact with the world around them. This theme has grown increasingly relevant at a time when digital communication frequently replaces direct, face-to-face interaction between people.

The new Valmiera Theatre production is part of the theatre's current repertoire and addresses a topic relevant to a broad segment of society regardless of age or occupation — namely, our everyday interaction with technology and how it shapes our daily lives and relationships with one another.
