Planet Hora

A Space Odyssey into the Depths of the Universe of Work

  • Film
German subtitles /  English subtitles /  Swiss German phonetic language /  99 mins.
Eine Gruppe Menschen tanzt und singt gemeinsam in einem Innenhof mit Palmen.
Eine Person steht in einer Sandgrube. Links von ihr brennt ein Bengalofeuer.

For a long time now, the Hora Theatre has been representing a different view of the world as well as a special experience of time and working time. But what happens when the Horas and their new management take a trip into the future? Off into the universe, to distant galaxies, starry vortices and unknown planets? Planets inhabited by alien life forms, bureaucrats, philosophers, workers and creatures who have better things to do than “hold a steady job”? Science fiction squared, the potentiated truth of the power of invention? We promise new findings on work and leisure, but above all, real insights into life on distant planets with aliens, music, dance, bands, robots and many unknowns.

First conceived as a play, now realised as a brilliant science-fiction film.
