Traitor

The so-called “detective game” built on digital interaction is a one-of-a-kind enterprise in the Hungarian theatre scene: the spectators themselves shape the storyline with the help of a mobile phone application, thus influencing the plot by way of their votes throughout the entire play. This makes them feel real, active participants of the show instead of passive viewers.

“The girl is in danger, hiding at the same time from her hotshot mother and a mysterious human rights activist. She feels that she cannot trust anybody and that every step she takes is monitored; therefore, she decides to take control and gets hold of all technical devices possible to watch over her chasers. Her partner in crime is an ordinary pizza delivery guy, who – together with the audience – tries to help her. The odds are high: are we to choose security or freedom, control or a future full of hazards? Shall the girl become a heroine or a traitor?” – the question is raised.

A coproduction of Kolibri Theatre (Hungary), University of York (UK) and Teatr Ludowy (Poland).

Created within the framework of PlayOn! international project co-funded by the Creative Europe Progamme of the EU.
