The Nether
A virtual world without boundaries where nothing is real, but everything is palpable. When a detective investigates this AI paradise, she wonders: if nothing is real, does morality apply? A gripping thriller about fantasy, desire, and unexpected consequences.
In the near future, The Nether exists: a virtual world without boundaries. Here, people assume alternative identities and live out fantasies that are taboo in real life. Without judgment. Without consequences. When a young detective launches an investigation into this cutting-edge AI environment, she soon begins to wonder just how innocent The Nether really is. As the line between fantasy and reality blurs ever further, the characters move along a slippery slope between self-control and derailment. Does virtually living out our deepest desires bring us freedom? Or does this virtual world have unexpected consequences?
The Nether is a gripping thriller that doesn’t tell us what to think, but forces us to feel where our limits lie. Jeroen Spitzenberger and Gaite Jansen star in this production directed by Daria Bukvić, known for The Almighty Sometimes and ALETTA the musical .
