RΔBBIT HOLE
A hybrid live-digital show about conspiracy theories. It asks why we believe the things we do and how healthy curiosity can turn into a dogmatic mistrust of mainstream narratives.
5 performers take the audience through an interactive, subversive, and surprising world. First created by Feral Bird Theatre in 2021, and supported by New Diorama Theatre, the Cockpit, and Applecart Arts. Moreover, RΔBBIT HOLE is a fundraising project, hoping to obtain enough funds to cover the work and dedication of many creative people who’ve taken part in the show. The project uses interactive theatre to explore how conspiracy theories develop, spread, and take root. Crucially, the show does this by casting its audience members in the role of conspiracy theorists. Far from the stereotypical -and usually false- images of lonely, terrified, tin-foil aficionados, here the audience form a community of like-minded peers, supporting and informing each other along the journey. The deeper we go, the more surreal it gets, and the more questions there are. As with all good conspiracy theories, the answers are always just behind the next curtain. The project also uses digital media to create a multi-layered RΔBBIT HOLE universe, which can be experienced across several different platforms.

The performers have backgrounds in stage and screen acting, physical theatre, clown, and playwrighting, and we love having such a varied, dynamic set of skills in the rehearsal room. - say the team.

This year’s Valentine’s Day started with a different kind of love. It was with the spontaneity of Iarina’s messages about the RΔBBIT HOLE. I did not take any part in creating this show and I do not want to take any credit other than sharing - with the hopes of it reaching more people.
She asked me if I could donate some of my pictures for their event and if I could come. While it is sadly on a really short notice as I’m currently busy with continuing to build this putrid space, I was able to help her with the photographs (this is a good way to justify why you spend countless hours on editing and still feel your work is not ready! Sometimes it' is missing the spark of right timing).
Therefore, if you want to see my work this Saturday, while being immersed in a wild theatrical ride to help creators keep creating, stop by HumanCoffee.ro.
Any field within the creative community is filled by ego and despise, I haven’t collaborated with a single one that’s not overtaken by an apparent collective psychosis that’s affecting more and more people. I don’t think there should be any absolutes to greatness or shit either, I’m just saying it’s not even about that. Creation should be god if art was a spiritual belief and the market should have never become its religion, it should have remained only part of the right to work.
For things to work we help each other and that’s the creative can at least try to perpetuate the flow of inspiring the imagination.
