Description

Five contenders. Five rounds. Your vote. Only one will survive. The stakes: your attention, your love, your approval, your laughter, your compassion, your weak spot, your guilty pleasure, your heart, your support, your choice.

We help you to decide through random checks, voting signposts, coalitions, campaigns, debates, consultants, exit polls, spin doctors, opinion gauges, list pushers, referendums. We’ll do anything to make the best not win.

Fight Night is about what determines our voting behaviour without losing sight of the game element. Set on a platform reminiscent of a boxing ring, the competition is fought not with fists but with words and looks. The performance puts five actors into the position of candidates struggling to get the audience’s sympathy and, ultimately, their vote. Only one of them will survive the relentless series of eliminations and they apply all possible tactics and strategies to assure their victory.

The audience, armed with a voting keypad and unprecedented power over the progression of the show, decides who stays and who goes, but gets entangled in an increasingly complex and puzzling system of rules and manipulations.

‘FIGHT NIGHT’ INFORMS US ABOUT OURSELVES, THE AUDIENCE, RATHER THAN ABOUT THE ACTORS. HOW WE, AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS A GROUP, JUDGE, CONDEMN, PUNISH OR TOLERATE

De Standaard

This show is quite unlike anything you’ve seen before

The Daily Telegraph

Majority rules. But none of this is really news, is it?

The Times

We may be the ones with the keyboards in our hands, but we retain less and less control

Chicago Reader

Fight Night offers a lot to think about, including one lesson for a certain prominent American politician: if you’re losing, don’t whine. Because, as the ref says, “Everyone likes an underdog but nobody likes a loser.”

Vancouver Sun

PRESS REVIEWS

Очень круто. Необычно. Глубокий смысл. Мы потом долго обсуждали.

Я кайфанул!

Неистово рекомендую!

Заставляет задуматься о выборе, который мы делаем в своей жизни. А скорее об иллюзии этого выбора...
