Beschreibung

Phanatasmagoria is a political play exploring how power, censorship and tradition can silence debate. Mehrosh, a celebrated student activist has been invited to an isolated house in the middle of a forest to take part in a debate with a powerful political adversary from the ruling party. It's a chance to make her voice heard. Fearful of the coming conflict, surrounded by eerie shadows and mysterious noises, and increasingly uncertain of what she is told, Mehrosh starts to feel a growing paranoia that the people around her are not what they seem... Phantasmagoria explores the dangers of divisive politics and unbridled social media to show how fear can be manufactured and manipulated with chilling consequences.

Despite being set in an unnamed country, it's easy to imagine it and place it geographically - and no huge mental leap to see any country descending into the same state." Uncaging the Leopard - Phantasmagoria at the Belgrade Theatre ([...]) "Deepika Arwind is not terribly hopeful about the world right now. That much is clear. But maybe it is only 'in first contouring the dismay she feels', 'we can start to think of what the path out of the darkness looks like.' Maybe the debate itself will look all together different to the preceding dialogue. That's for the audience to imagine with renewed hope."
