Stefan Mießeler & Anna Winde-Hertling: True Romance

How much are you willing to give for love? True Romance takes the audience deep into the heart of pig butchering - the toughest form of digital love fraud. It's a billion-dollar business with perfectly constructed emotional scripts: Endless messages are used to sell a real and beautiful relationship, the best damn relationship you'll ever have! And it costs something. Until your bank account is empty. Until everything you have is gone. Really everything.

Up to 15 spectators per show experience the work of three characters in a scam center. The immersive performance takes place live in the office between karaoke to Lana Del Rey's video games, beer pong and via cell phones, which are handed out at the beginning. Using an app specially developed for the performance, parts of the plot are played directly to the audience's new devices in personal chats and videos. True Romance - a play about the promise of love in the digital age. A play like a message from the person you love. A play just for you.
