An experimental play based on Augusto Boal’s immortal inspiration: Theater as an art is about empowering people to fix the world using their skills, feelings, and creativity.

The protagonist

The protagonist named Aheado Fyou is a mad scientist sent two minutes later into the future because of an unfortunate incident.

He is funny and wise and wants to help people, not to build the world he sees in the future.

Aheado is a man of science, so he reads from his books of experiments and theories to lead us through a journey of discovery.

Act Zero

The first part is an interpretation of Augusto Boals’ Image Theater, where the audience can help solve some common problems that we have as humanity — turning hate and aggression into hope, using our art skills to make a point, and showing some real-life examples of how a small piece of graffiti can start a change.

You can now if you ever want to be part of the play. The audience could actively participate in discussing, demonstrating, and sharing opinions.

If you are too shy and want to watch, there is a seat for you too. No pressure!.

Act One

The second part is about the freedoms we have in the digital world. The digital rights are human rights as well. The mad scientists show us what we lose if we don’t act now.

Through specially crafted dialogues he leads the audience to discover complicated theories that affect our lives.
Do you know how social network algorithms work or why you see the same messages daily? Do you know what an encryption is? Do you know why we fight with each other online?

Act Two

The play evolves after each show based on the feedback. You can always expect more or different acts based on the current situation in the world.
