Welcome to the Inhumane Theater! (Ground 1)
————————————————————————
For those who attended the one time only event called Gr0und.9, you might remember the journey of Mage-A, as he entered the spirit realm to collaborate with other artists.
That performance was a stepping stone, a glimpse into a world still being built. Now, with Inhumane Theater, that world expands. This time, Mage-A finds himself in a surreal and unpredictable therapy session—one where the stakes are higher, the illusions deeper, and the truth harder to grasp. Although Mage-A is a rapper, and the main focus was on music in the Gr0und.9 act, Ground 1 leans more heavily on the theatrical. Are you ready to step into the next chapter?
Play Summary
————————————————————————
Inhumane Theater is a surreal, thought-provoking comedy in which a performer named Mage-A wakes up in a therapy session with no memory of how he got there or why. The goal? To help him defeat the “Demon of Doubt,” a force holding him back from reaching his full potential.
Yet, this is no ordinary therapy session. The therapist throws Mage-A into a high-stakes theatrical game, where he must play out scenes from a storyline in which he is a powerful magician—one who has forgotten both his identity and his abilities.
—
Through a blend of striking visuals, immersive sound design, and music, the performance draws the audience deeper into Mage-A’s surreal journey, making them feel as if they, too, are part of his fractured reality.
Written and directed by Mahyar Mirzazadeh, Inhumane Theater is deeply personal. The character of Mage-A is based on the playwright’s rap alter ego, and the play itself is inspired by his first album of the same name (released in 2020), where the song titles have become a blueprint for this theatrical adaptation.
