DARTMOUTH: Theatre Conspiracy’s critically acclaimed and groundbreaking theatrical production, Foreign Radical, makes its highly anticipated debut in Dartmouth/Punamu’kwati’jk, NS from October 4 – 6.
It will be part of Prismatic Arts Festival in partnership with Eastern Front Theatre.
More mobile than most productions, Foreign Radical invites 30 participants into an intriguing theatrical game that explores security, profiling, freedom of expression, and privacy in the age of cybersurveillance.
Participants collaborate, compete, investigate, debate, and spy on each other. The Foreign Radical set is divided into four play areas where participants, depending on personal and group responses to various questions posed by the game’s host, witness different perspectives on the action.
They are at times divided into groups or left all alone to gather evidence from dramatic scenes and documentary media that colour their views and how they play the game.
