Have you ever wondered if you are human when you failed to fill in the captcha on your third attempt? Congratulations! You have been personally selected to accompany the Emil family in their work!
Using a bizarre old trick, the third-generation family business earns its coins with viral multi-level online direct marketing in a high-growth industry. But the daily work routine is thrown out of kilter by an unexpected visitor - Joseph Bazuaye, Prince of Nigeria, arrives through a data leak in the living room of the family business. All bots and supposed users are invited to join us in asking the question ARE YOU HUMAN?

As part of the Festival of Performing Arts (FDDK, formerly Theaternacht), we invite you to see a work-in-progress showing of the above play before its premiere on October 17. Wander through the night, visit the city's theaters and pay us a visit too!
