The Enlightened
Liam Rees (UK/IND)
Krimi-Dokumentar-Theater (in englischer Lautsprache)
“The Enlightened” spins a web of post-colonial secrets about a young white man who went to India in search of enlightenment and disappeared without a trace. As friends, family and internet detectives focus on a digital trail of tiny breadcrumbs, uncomfortable truths come to light, dangerous lies are uncovered and everyone is forced to ask the question: How important is the truth ultimately?
“The Enlightened” is a true crime thriller that delves into the infinite depths of the internet. It tells a fictional story inspired by true events. The audience is invited to participate in a collective meditation session that takes place between physical, digital and spiritual worlds, exploring human connection and the need to make sense of chaos.
At the same time, performers tell this ‘true’ crime story on the JES stage and in their private homes in India. “The Enlightened” can be viewed by the audience at JES and streamed live on the internet at the same time. Moreover, all viewers have the opportunity to participate in a WhatsApp group chat during the play. The show combines elements of crime history, theatre, film and digitality to create a unique and immersive experience without losing its contemporary and political relevance.
