Cargo exposes the pressing issue of increasing road freight transport. It takes us into the world of global trade, where speed and accessibility drive economic growth while simultaneously accelerating climate change due to their environmental footprint. Through a subtle narrative, it raises moral and ethical questions about human values and responsibility in a world driven by relentless consumption. What is the true cost of our speed?

Premiere: Maribor Puppet Theatre | September 9, 2024
