“Democracy is all well and good, but only when you form part of the majority.” Culture Wars​ Be part of the democratic process Theatre | Belgium / Australia Experience reality television-style democracy that hands power to the spectator! Thoroughly political, but never explicitly so, Fight Night reveals the reasons and motivations that compel voters to vote. A must-see company on today’s international theatre circuit for its immersive, full-on performance style, Belgium’s extraordinary Ontroerend Goed has teamed up with Australia’s The Border Project for this reflection on democracy, elections, and political manipulation. Fight Night asks why we cling to our democratic institutions despite their failures, and what the alternatives might look like. In a game show format, five ‘candidates’ battle to get your sympathy and your vote. Only one will survive the series of elimination contests. Along the way - campaigns, coalitions, exit polls, spin doctors, the whole panoply of a modern election. Exciting and totally engaging, this is reality theatre, live and unique to the moment. Every performance is bound to be different, because the vote is yours. But do you really have free choice?
