Ferdinand von Schirach
TERROR
drama where the audience decides
Directed by Czajlik József
An army pilot shot down a civil plane kidnapped by terrorists. It was necessary to make a decision: 60 000 of spectators at the stadium or 164 passengers on the board. Lars Koch made the decision and he killed 164 people. What would happen if we had to decide whether he is guilty or not? The arguments and counterarguments start to flow, the original situation isn’t clear anymore, background of the decision is confusing. The final question is very simple: is he a murderer or no? Just like the protagonist figured out by himself how it feels to make a decision that cannot be changed and has stated results, the spectator also experiences how difficult it is to be responsible for their opinions.
Voting procedure
After the break, at the entrance to the theatre every spectator will get a voting stone. Our assistants will give you several ballot-boxes which includes two folders with the titles I FIND HIM INNOCENT and I FIND HIM GUILTY. During the voting, please, stay at the theatre and think about.
After you decide, put your voting stone into your selected folder and pass the ballot-box to your neighbour. Our assistants will take the ballot-boxes and they will count the votes.
The results of the voting, not only from this performance, but results of all the other votes, at any place in the world, are available on the website http://terror.theater.
The creators of the performance hope you will vote responsibly.
