Shows
The Tribunal
This show played on May 9, 2015.
“A participatory scenario about the mechanics of oppression, inspired by Orwell, Krylov, Büchner, Linna and the classic dilemma exercises.
The premise is simple: two soldiers from your unit – private Magpie and corporal Badger – have been charged with the crime of stealing bread. This is serious. You are all hungry, there is a food shortage. So if found guilty, they will be shot. The problem is that they are innocent – they were with all of you when the crime took place. It’s probably been a major, Pig, who has a tendency to steal and sell stuff from the barracks. Yet no one wants to hear about that – most of the officers here are corrupt or afraid. The scapegoats will be found guilty and executed, unless enough people testify to their innocence. To say so, however, is extremely dangerous, and may land you as the next person in line to get shot. What will you do, and how many others would you need to stand up for honesty along with you, should you choose to defend the innocent?”

Previous Occupants
This show played on May 16, 2015.
"Previous Occupants is a horror scenario about jealousy, trust and desire in two acts. It takes place in a modern day setting, with two parallel stories set in two different times. At some point in the story the two merge, as the past invades the present.
Four players are divided into two couples – old and young – one for each story. The couples will play their stories in parallel on two mirrored physical stages in a single playing space. The old couple’s story takes place in the past and the young couple’s in the present. Only one timeline is active at a time and focus shifts happen when someone rings a classic desk bell placed between the two scenes. Anyone can ring the bell at any time."
