The film “Wurst Case Szenario” is a sci-fi thriller with masks and puppets and deals with the topics of digitalization, artificial intelligence and disinformation in a humorous way that is critical of society and capitalism.
After a Trillobilion Jahrome-long time quarantine on the planet Uggel, the characters in our story encounter a completely changed, digitized world that is completely alien to them. On the trail of an apparent conspiracy by those in power, they navigate their way through a future in which advancing digitalization is used to control the population through targeted disinformation and generate capital through their consumer behaviour. A search for the only real truth in the galaxy of Uila and beyond begins.

The aim of the project is to draw attention to current socio-political debates in the form of an entertaining, funny and at the same time grotesque science fiction film with masks and puppets. The project sees itself more as an impetus for discussion and exchange than a moralistic finger-pointing game.

Pangalaktisches Theater works throughout the Ruhr region, primarily in Essen and Bochum. While the shooting and post-production of the film “Wurst Case Szenario” took place in Essen's Maschinenhaus Essen, among other locations, the dubbing and music were recorded in Bochum.
