Recognized for bold and unusual assemblies, multimedia artist Ricardo Karman debut on November 5 (Saturday at 20 hours), his new Ovono show at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brazil (CCBB), where it remains on display until the 12th of December.The assembly is a science fiction adventure, satirical and philosophical, in which a giant bone from space is about to destroy the Earth. The only hope of the planet is Ovono, the most perfect artificial brain ever created, but this "machine" is learning to think - to have feelings - and can not be prepared for the difficult mission to destroy the threatening object and save humanity.Besides Ricardo Karman (text, direction and set design), the technical file brings Amir Admoni toward animation and video, Tito Sabatini as director of multimedia project, Jose de Anchieta in costume, Domingos Quintilian lighting and Otavio Donasci in design and consultancy inflatable. The cast is formed by Gustavo Vaz, Paula Arruda, Paula Spinelli Fabio Herford, Bruno Ribeiro and Cesar Brazil.The plot discusses ambition for technological progress in the course of the evolution of civilization. With a multimedia language unusual staging daring in maping video techniques with spherical projections and inflatable supports (beings and images digitally created). Ricardo Karman and Earth Center Kompanhia lead to the theater a fundamental reflection on the progress of the course and the burden of unbridled developmentalism in our time.

The eloquent pride of human intelligence, technological achievements and space exploration here contrasts with a wicked future, the burden of unsustainable model of progress. This is the context of Ovono parable: the bone returns and threatens to takedown-, gigantic, over our heads with the devastating effects of an atomic bomb.Ovono is a computer with artificial intelligence; It is the paroxysm of human intellect, the most sophisticated idealization of technology, the mimesis of human intelligence. According to the director, the consumer society confuses technological evolution with civilizational development. "There is a certain hypnosis generated by the technology that eludes us, inflates our self-esteem and makes us feel proud of our race. We realize irrefutably one always beneficial evolutionism. Technology should not be the only reference for the development of civilization. True progress should be the human evolution and social gains of the entire population, "says Karman.The show seeks to reflect with good humor about these issues of evolution. There are two dramatic conflicts, two lines of discussion in the text. One believes in progress and want to keep the bone in the air: he believes that humanity
