The Tribunal is an improv show about the mechanics of oppression.
Summary
The show is a presentation of the LARP of the same name by J. Tuomas Harviainen.
The scenario is inspired by the works of Orwell, Krylov, Buchner, and Linna.
In it, twelve soldiers living under a totalitarian regime debate which of their comrades will be executed for the crime of stealing bread. The scenario raises intense questions, such as whether soldiers are willing to stand together to protect the innocent, or if they will break off from the group and focus on their own safety. These game mechanics share a lot in common with the Prisoner's Dilemma.
