World Premiere – April 2013, Vooruit, Gent

The Border Project & Ontroerend Goed in coproduction with Drum Theatre Plymouth, Kunstencentrum Vooruit & Richard Jordan productions Ltd.

Fight Night - Five contenders. Five rounds. Your vote. Only one will survive!

Live in a boxing ring on stage the stakes are high. The contenders fight for your attention, your support, your approval and ultimately your heart!

You decide who to vote for as the evening pulls all the political punches. Each contender must win - using whatever means necessary.

An exciting new collaboration with leading Belgian Company Ontroerend Goed, Fight Night is a playful and immersive political exploration into our shared crisis of faith in our political processes. Through the lens of a demented night of sanitised violence (i.e the sport of boxing) the audience is taken on a twisting and turning popularity contest placing the spotlight firmly on the cult of celebrity surrounding our political leaders.
