The world tour of Planet Lem launched on the very first day of the Polish Presidency, with the London showing on the 1st of July, 2011 as part of the annual Watch This Space Festival. Another festival context for upcoming performances is the Berlin Lacht! Festival held in Germany in the beginning of August. Co-produced by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, showings by Teatr Biuro Podróży are scheduled in Brussels, Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid, Moscow and Kiev, in cooperation with local partners, Polish Institutes and Embassies of Poland. The performance is inspired by Stanisław Lem's fiction, his unique, witty and poignant diagnosis of the contemporary world, and his reflection on the relations between technological progress and limitations of the human race.

We keep this civilization under narcosis, for otherwise it could not
endure itself. That is why its sleep must not be disturbed ... We hold
in precarious balance that which without us would plunge into the
throes of universal agony. We are the last Atlas of this world.
- Stanisław Lem, The Futurological Congress
