Zombie Survival Kit is a study of the daily apocalypses we accept with indifference.
Three actors embody distorted worlds: obsessive aesthetics, unbridled consumerism, and digital alienation. Unable to communicate, they interact only through violence, the only language still understandable. What is the real survival kit?

Three actors represent three different worlds of our time. The bulimic and obsessive aesthetic. Overproductive consumerism. The alienation of virtual non-communication. Three worlds that do not know how to communicate—can no longer communicate. The show is wordless. They act on each other with the only universal language recognized: violence. For fun, out of frustration, out of fear, out of revenge, out of defense. No one wins, no one loses.
The game of massacre in which they feel themselves to be protagonists is constantly overturned, revealing our end to us. An actor swallows rice cakes and, with his mouth full, tries to speak to the audience. Then he spits and fills his mouth again.
