METAKINETICS
Set design
The play Just Don’t Stop! by Simone Hamer draws from Horace McCoy’s novel They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, highlighting the struggles of the Great Depression and the harsh realities of show business. Directed by Primož Ekart, it tells the story of participants in a gruelling dance marathon, emphasizing themes of existential hardship and exploitation. The play reflects the plight of the modern precariat—those living in constant insecurity and stress—exposing the bleak nature of reality TV shows that often exploit contestants for profit, pushing them to their limits.
