Odradek

Odradek è a contemporary fairy tale, inspired by the warnings of Gunther Anders and the whims of Franz Kafka.

In the home of M, an ordinary woman holed up in her domestic comfort zone, every wish is granted before it is even conceived. In the land of plenty, the spiral of conformity has eliminated every whim, so marketing predictions are infallible. Unaware messenger of this enchanted world è Q, express courier of the most important company in the delivery industry, the ubiquitous Odradek. Unusual questions arise from the relationship between the two: where do objects come from? And the news? Who speaks at the other end of the machine? 
A fault in the electrical system will allow these mass hermits to catch a glimpse of a reflection of the invisible web of the world, triggering a clash between environment and ambition, a struggle between illusion and imagination. The unconscious innocence of life today, or rather the inability to feel the weight of responsibility for one's actions, sometimes cracks and allows the symptoms of a singular, unusual anguish to filter through; like a dark shadow, the feeling of the meaninglessness of one's existence creeps into M.'s mind.
The enchantment that envelops and homologates the protagonists of this fable seems to spread from the domestic apparatuses and objects, inert products that occasionally give the impression of observing human activities and seem to judge their consumers. In the solitude and silence of the evening, the house seems to have a thousand eyes, and the goods come to life to dispense advice and warnings, strengthened by a superhuman wisdom untainted by unproductive drives or superfluous emotions.
