Aniara

About the show

The spacecraft Aniara, controlled by the computer Mima, leaves a poisoned Earth carrying emigrants toward Mars. During a midsummer celebration it is thrown off course and redirected toward Lyra, a journey expected to last longer than the lives of those aboard. After Earth is destroyed, Mima can no longer function. The commander tries to manage the passengers’ growing despair and moral deterioration. The voyage continues through its twentieth anniversary, and in the final night the blind poetess sings of death as the passengers and Mimaroben face the end.
