"TYRANTS" PREMIERES AS THE FIRST EVER LIVE WEB-PERFORMANCE.

As Corona shuts down theatres across the globe, a lot has been done online and “Tyrants” set a new standard for online theatre with its sophisticated techniques in sound and direction to bring the most entertaining live performance to the viewer.

With a “full house”, the play premiered on Zoom on July 10th, 2020 and pushed the envelope of web performances to the limit. The recording is made available for free here.

TYRANTS” follows an American and a German couple living in Berlin and their struggles to deal with the past. As both stories intertwine, victims become perpetrators and nothing stays how it is. The ultimate question of “Who we truly are” spins its thread through this twisting plot of love and affairs.

(“TYRANNEN” erzählt von einem Deutschen und US-Amerikanischen Paar die in Berlin leben und die dabei sind, auseinander zu driften. Als beide Erzähl-Stränge sich schliesslich treffen, werden Opfer zu Tätern und Täter zu Opfern. Die grundlegende Frage nach dem “Wer bin ich? “ spannt sich wie ein Faden durch das Netz von Intrigen und Affären.)
