Foreign Radical

Privacy, security, and government surveillance: they’re all issues that could not be more urgent. In Foreign Radical, Theatre Conspiracy asks 30 audience members about where they stand on everything from racial profiling to surfing porn to bombing Syria. The questions are all posed by a game “host” and your answers determine where you’re grouped in the room. The point of all this? That the political is always the personal. No wonder the show received the Georgia Straight Critics’ Choice Innovation Award at the 2015 Jessies.

Foreign Radical is at Studio 1398 from Monday (February 6) to February 11.
