Cargo takes us into the world of global trade, where speed and accessibility drive economic growth but also bring negative consequences such as over-exploitation of natural resources, environmental pollution, and violations of labour rights. The story follows a trucker under severe time pressure from his employer. The obstacles along the way only add to his stressful situation. The night brings a chance encounter, and the morning dawns with a shocking event that prompts a profound reflection on moral and ethical issues.

The performance questions our ways of mobility, consumption patterns and daily habits. It also expresses concerns about the policies that shape the world and seeks answers to how we can create a fairer, ecologically more responsible world.

Premiere: Maribor Puppet Theatre | September 9, 2024

TRAILER

“... The entire performance unravels through an exceedingly refined and focused perspective as a methodical unravelling of a conflict – not a personal one, but a systemic one – which, with its ending and strong emotional notch, opens a series of questions …”
