Provocative director Ioana Păun tackles urgent socio-political topics, in a theatrical performance bordering a behavioural experiment. A live art piece that aims at questioning the current social order. Thanks to its structure that leaves the audience in complete control, the show practically writes itself as the public is pushed to respond to unexpected challenges.
This exciting participatory theatre experience has been developed by Ioana Păun during her 2012 residency at Theatre Royal Stratford East. Pãun is a theatre director whose cutting-edge work has been showcased as part of international festivals across Europe.
