«The Eagle Owl Experiment», is the successful performance work produced by Diana Rojas-Feile. In this immersive theatre experience people think about lies: small and big lies, good and bad lies. The audience and performers become active co-creators of a collective experience - playful, funny, and at the same time profound.
Do you lie often? Would you lie if it meant you could save lives? Is it okay to betray your best friend? Are parents allowed to lie to their children? The Eagle Owl Experiment is both an individual listening experience and a playground for collective reflection. Utilising situations of philosophical dilemma on the topic of truth and lies, the audience make decisions that directly affect the performance. Different roles may be adopted. Opposing positions become negotiable. It's about the desire to think for oneself and the courage to speak one's own mind - or to invent something outrageous.
A theatre experience of the extraordinary kind! Inspiring, funny and lovingly subversive.
The Eagle Owl Experiment is an interactive performance for people who like to ask questions. The focus is on the joy of joint creative reflection. When philosophising together, we avoid didactic ideas about morals, rules, norms and decision-making processes, but rather create a platform where the active spectators can explore their own thoughts and opinions through playful premises. By using headphones, we isolate the individual spectators in their own listening spaces. Activated in this way, listening is decoupled from the classical shared experience of the theatre space and instead used to investigate new realities - a movie in the mind, made for (and by) you.
