Les Autres is the story of four people who are living in a strangely isolated world. A living hell made out of plastic, entirely devoid of other living beings, and surrounded by impenetrable, translucent screens. Will its inhabitants manage to liberate themselves from this drab and dreary existence? Will they want to?

To keep fate at bay, to keep boredom in check, they dance. Day after day, they dance. With precision, with fervor, with passion. A fortuitous encounter, a refusal to stop searching - maybe, just maybe our four friends will end up committing the most crucial, the most rebellious of all acts: maybe they will allow themselves to be amazed at life.

As Cioran put it, ‘A civilisation begins with a myth and it ends with doubt. We need to reinvent our own myths’. This new piece by Anton Lachky starts with a new myth, a myth that points forward to the downfall of our modern world, whilst sketching the contours of a possible rebirth.
