Fasten Your Seat belts! is a sharp, ironic satire that invites us to view at a fractured world from above — where its contradictions become more visible. At the heart of the story is Robyn, who receives the ultimate birthday gift: a trip to space. But the view from above reveals a different reality. As we have nearly exhausted every corner of the Earth, our gaze turns toward space. But is space exploration true progress—or just an escape from the problems we’ve left behind? How do we balance technological advancement with responsibility for the planet we've already pushed to its limits?

Premiere: Klaipėda Puppet Theatre, Lithuania | June 21-22, 2025

TRAILER: COMING SOON

In the future, we won’t just travel to space—we’ll build, manufacture, and extract resources there. Some people may even start living in space.

— Aušra Girtaitė Mikalajūnienė, space law expert

Theatre has always been a laboratory of social change – a space where reflection is encouraged, key questions are raised, and answers are sought. With its storytelling power, it not only reflects reality but also reshapes it, fosters dialogue, and offers new perspectives. …

— Tin Grabnar, director of the Transport project

Today’s humanity constantly strives to reach further, deeper, higher.
But the problem isn’t space — it’s the mindset of extraction, domination, and profit we carry with us.If we enter space with the same patterns of destruction we’ve perfected here on Earth, it will not save us. So the real question is not whether we should travel into space — but rather: are we, as a species, even mature enough? Can we live here — on this planet — with care?

— Ajda Rooss, dramaturg
