Foreigners
What will happen if you secretly peek into someone else's phone? Does facing the truth solve or open up a new problem? To what extent does the truth about/of someone else directly impact their private space, and to what extent does it intrude on the space of others? Does facing the truth make us better people? Mobile phones are our "black boxes"?! To what extent do these "black boxes" alienate us from each other? "Strangers", based on the text by Paolo Genovese, is a "dramomedia" in which seven friends play a game in which they share all phone messages, conversations, photos, and communications via social networks, thus revealing personal secrets, opening up painful conflict situations. At the same time, the differences between private and public self-presentation are emphasized. The parallel actions create an epic stage narrative that does not strive to mark the end, but rather grows in breadth. All in the name of truth. After confronting the truth, there follows a clash with post-truth, a state in which facts become less influential than emotions and personal beliefs. The role of technology in determining truth/authenticity as the dominant one of today is also emphasized by the emergence and disclosure of confidential documents on a global scale. Has the world become a better place to live since the emergence of WikiLeaks? And once again, does confronting the truth make us (not) better people?
