Welcome to the official website of the experimental theater production „SystemErr 2052“, whose main message is „With just one small pencil, you can change the world“
The idea
Based on real events from recent years – wars around the world, the lack of freedom of the press, political upheavals, human rights violations and, above all, apathy and hatred in society, the play moves from a one-man show to active communication with the viewer and turns him from an audience into an actor, with the aim of provoking action as a counterpoint to the widespread apathy and „quick-turnover“ hatred in online society.
History
The production started as a kind of experiment during OpenFest 2024, but over time it turned into a performance with a mission, the premiere of which took place on March 7 in Sofia.
The play itself is strongly influenced by the methods of the Brazilian theater director Augusto Boal, who exploits the idea that theater is not only a place for tears and laughter, but also a means of expressing an active civic position and changing public opinion.
The goal of the performance is to reveal how something good can be created from apathy and hatred in a society – a kind of work of art that can change attitudes in that same society.
The main questions that the production poses to the audience are:
- the fight for freedom of speech
- the mechanisms that drive the behavior of online society with a focus on social algorithms
- the digital rights of the internet user (do we use them correctly and do we even know them)
- using the art dormant in us to strategize change and how easy it is.

Summary
The protagonist, the mad scientist Aheado Fyou, is sent by chance to travel through time. In the future, he sees what will happen to us as a civilization and returns to the present to make us change something now, so that we do not end up in a situation of a future without rights and free will.
