A play from Bulgaria involving a mysterious set of letters. Three actors and audience members read the letters cold, and a plot involving ethics and war unfolds. Decisions are made and evaluated by all.

The Decision Immersive Event - Main Image

By Alexander Manuiloff Directed by Irina Kruzhilina Three actors receive a script they have never seen before, piece by piece. A situation and design for a theatre evening, that discusses the questions of democracy, the potential for solidarity and participation in increasingly isolated and disconnected societies. Also love, violence, and serenades. There is a twisted love game at the backdrop of a dark, anti-utopian prospect of a whole country entering a state of war. All the situations are testing some form of personal corruption – staring from intimate relations, going through working situations and finally reaching to socially significant acts. Examining the topics of internal, personal corruption, and the important decisions (often invisible to outsiders' eyes) that can change the direction of one’s life, the audience will also have the opportunity to take decisions while the actors are not supposed to pre-learn a script. The performance becomes an interactive event that effortlessly invites everyone to join in and have their say. Time: 1 hour Join for a post show discussion with the author.

Audience Role
