In 'UBERmens', theatre-makers dive into the world of meal couriers and the on-demand economy, spotlighting the experiences of both couriers and consumers, and asking the question: What if your boss is an app?
Is a job as a (bicycle) courier for Uber or Deliveroo a low-threshold and flexible job for people struggling to enter the labour market? Or is it a modern form of slave labour without labour rights or social security? Theatre makers Julie Mughunda, Farbod Fathinejadfard, Yuni Mahieu and Joost Maaskant crawl on the saddle themselves for their first ever NTGent-production. Together, they explore what it means to have to survive in the on-demand economy.
To what extent do we use services and products where somewhere in the world someone is underpaid? What is the route of our products, our food? We all live on the same planet, but in different realities. We will cycle, deliver, consume lots of lots. What if your boss is an algorithm?
