On May 7th, the Madrid theater scene will host a production that blends space travel, synthesizers, and a message about climate change. Whisky en Kepler offers an experience where speculative fiction meets environmental urgency, using electronic music as a narrative vehicle. It is not a conventional drama: it seeks to connect the audience with the planet's future from the stage.
How a sonic and visual universe is built for space 🎛️
The production integrates real-time digital projections and a soundtrack composed with modular synthesizers. The technical team has developed a lighting system that synchronizes scene changes with electronic rhythms, generating smooth transitions between Earth and the planet Kepler. The set design uses recycled materials and low-consumption LED screens, aligning with the ecological discourse of the play. The result is a show where every technical element reinforces the story without overwhelming it.
What happens when you mix whisky, an exoplanet, and your conscience 🥃
The plot follows a group of astronauts who, instead of searching for water on Kepler, find an interstellar distillery. The metaphor is clear: while they enjoy a whisky, Earth's ecosystem crumbles. Some critics have noted that the play works better as a sensory experience than as an ecological plea, but at least no one leaves the theater asking for a space cocktail. That said, the merchandise includes a bottle with an LED label.
