"Klara and the Sun is one of the most exciting performances of this season. Although the story is set in 2082, don't think for a moment that it's about where we're going. It's about who we are" - Panni Puskás critic, Revizor Online

In a future world, social relations are alienated, social differences are sharpened, and technology offers superhuman prospects to those who can afford to develop seemingly endlessly. Klara, the artificial intelligence of the Sun Intelligent Community House, was originally developed to be the perfect companion for an adolescent child on the road to adulthood. After her mission, she was rescued from an electronic waste dump. In her new home, the community centre, she tells her story and experiences of this time as a robot friend to a girl named Josie.
