Starting from a real story of our society – lobbies and their power in the decisions taken at the European parliament – Alexandra Badea offers a strong theatrical experience : ten sequences follow one after the other, in which, by using the pronoun « you », the interior voice of the lobbyist seems to challenge the audience. The dramatic strength of her work resides in that art of seating the spectator inside the system in which he has evolved so that he can finally see all the tricks and perversity of that same system.
Extremophile takes us into deep waters, a dive into the cracks of an ambitious and repressed head of cabinet’s consciousness, the mind of a private drone pilot without a sense of responsibility and a young disenchanted scientist who renounces research to embrace industry. These three intertwined intrigues are proof of the cold violence of a society where mankind is no longer at the centre. « Extremophile » is a jump onto the staggering vortex of remorse and forgotten dreams where intimacy and politics interact with each other. We can observe the human and geologic crack.
An organism is said to be extremophilic when the regular conditions of life are deadly for most other organisms. They are acidophilic, halophilic hyperthermophilic or barophilic… They live in acidic conditions, very salty environments and they can support very high pressure or temperatures over 100°C.
For some of the researchers, life appeared in very extreme conditions, extremophilic show some astonishing skills of adaptation to the most diverse and hostile environments.
