The Trial
A cast of forty stage this one-on-one, immersive, site specific experience, following Joseph K’s journey over multiple venues, and performed in two parts
“The internet is the greatest spying machine the world has ever seen”
Julian Assange
This immersive, large scale, interactive story sees audience members follow Joseph K through the nooks and crannies of atmospheric East London settings as he comes to terms with his mysterious arrest. Through one-on-one encounters the complex reality of Joseph’s situation emerges, culminating in a visit to the Department, a crumbling regime with a dark secret at its centre, provoking questions on the true value of identity, and how far we should go to defend it.
At the end of Part One, audience members make an appointment to continue their experience in Part Two at The Trial itself, with an atmosphere inspired by Kafka’s short story In The Penal Colony.
