PHANTAS­MAGORIA

Sober political discussion instead of populist sounds and hate speech – with this goal, an established journalist invites two political opponents to hold an independently organised debate.
The speaker of a ruling party with her assistant and a young activist from university politics spend the time before the debate waiting together, they conversation keeping a respectful distance at first. But then a thunderstorm arrives, the situation outside gets increasingly out of control, and the exchange between the political agents turn more manipulative, tense, even threatening. Uncanny creatures and shadows enter the game.

The play reflects on the global trend towards violence in communication and manipulation through fear which we have been experiencing for years.
