Workpiece

The performance about the relationship between body and work is part of the Baltic Take Over programme and URB 23 festival's OFF-programme.

As a woman-machine whose movements are driven by a treadmill, the Lithuanian artist transcends her alienating experience in the kitchens of McDonald’s with this hard-hitting performance on the relationship between the body and work.

Based on Anna-Marija Adomaityte’s work experience and the testimonies of other McDonald’s employees, Workpiece questions physical and social conditions of productivity and their effects on the body.

Tickets from 10€, the ticket is a double bill with Kiasma Theatre’s performance on the same day.
