The first smart show in history with the unmistakable signature of La Fura, M.U.R.S. arribes in Brazil after their groundbreaking performances in Spain, France, Hong Kong and Holland. Technological development in the modern age has shaped individuals, businesses and the economy and transformed many aspects of urban life, manifesting the notion of ‘smart cities’.

In the Smart City M.U.R.S. will pose questions to those who experience a 2.0 installation in living in a new model of democracy. It will be akin to living in a typical city, with real-world premises, namely economy, mobility, ecology, citizenship, governance and digital life. Participants’ smart phone will be the guide that takes them onto a journey into the unknown.
