You and 29 strangers enter a big white room with two screens. You have to follow the special rules that „make life possible” . Do listen carefully to the Narrator: „After a night in this club, you can deal with anything. All the people who used to have power over us have less and less and less and less.” In this club you don’t have a name, you have a number. Enter your personal square and follow your projected number.
„I am not important” - you start shouting. „I know, we all know...” says the voice from above. Now go to a person you would never talk to. Touch this person, whisper into his ears…give him orders, you can make him cluck as a chicken. But watch out, you might have to do it as well! One being totally brainwashed, you join the chorus, confessing your new personal philosophy: “We are not our job! We are not what we think we are!”
What comes after theater?
Defined as multimedia theater choreography, post theater’s Express Fight Club is more a psychological experiment than a theatrical performance. The set number of viewers become the actors themselves, everybody has to take part to make the group complete. Receiving instructions from both peers and the “Big Brother” one may ask how far the individual can go in losing his or her identity, reducing it to a white square, doing things one would normally not do. Based on the movie Fight Club, the play deals with the theme of work. It raises important questions one might otherwise avoid thinking about. Do you get easily influenced by other? Are you a leader? Do you create something new every day? Will you be a different person in three years from now? Do you like the way you are living?
