Fight Night
24 - 26 Oct 2024
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.
Ten years after its premiere, Belgian theatre collective Ontroerend Goed are remaking Fight Night. Because, a decade later, the world has changed. Back then, distrust in the system was a rather marginal phenomenon. Today, more than ever, trust in democracy is faltering. It has permeated the broadest segments of the population – and political parties.
In the brand-new Fight Night, the world will remain outside. No political statements, only a sharp analysis of how democracy works.

★★★★
“Without even a single political reference, Ontroerend Goed’s ‘Fight Night’ makes a precarious analysis of the consensus politics our democratic system has fallen into. That’s impressive.”
