"DEPOT OF GENIUS DELUSIONS" is a unique installation and performance environment based on brilliant scientific delusions of the last hundred years.
The basis for the creation of DEPO was the theory concerning the world order of all scales: from an elementary particle to the Universe. All these theories were universally accepted throughout the 20th century, but in the end they were irrevocably refuted.
The authors of such ideas were not eccentric cranks who compose their laws of the universe at their leisure. These were eminent scientists and Nobel laureates. All disproved theories were as scientific as possible at the time of their appearance. Therefore, in our DEPOT there are no torsion fields for composing poetry, no intellectual water that memorizes prayers, no perpetual motion machines that charge mobile phones.
In our opinion, all the theories we have selected are interesting not only as scientific curiosities. Undoubtedly, they became a monument to the era. And this is a reason to think about the fate of those ideas around which modern science is concentrated.
So, the AKHE theater intends to create an "amusement park", artistically rethinking the following hypotheses:
1. Some particles move from the future to the past.
2. Atoms are cubes.
3. The Sun has an ultralight element that is not present on Earth.
4. A drop of polymer water will destroy the oceans.
5. Hereditary information is transmitted not by DNA, but by protein.
6. There is a separate molecule for each memory.
7. Our planet is getting cold and shrinking.
8. A giant planet is hidden behind the orbit of Pluto.
9. The solar system is filled with antimatter.
10. There has never been a big bang.
The corresponding scenographic equivalents will be found for the hypotheses. They will be located in the center of a large showroom. Spectators will move along a special road, raised to a height of two meters above floor level. This will allow viewers, on the one hand, to carefully examine each element of the installation, each actor separately, and on the other hand, to see the entire technopark as a whole. This is especially important for observing the interaction of 3D video mapping projections. For the same reason, for the convenience of spectators, six "viewing platforms" will be built.
It is assumed that the DEPOT OF GENIUS DELUSIONS will function for at least three hours, which will allow at least two thousand spectators to visit this amazing show, which combines paradoxical scenography, subtle acting existence and the most modern video effects.
