Lying Party: When the Audience Becomes a Lie Detector

True or false? At Lying Party in the Theaterrevier Bochum, the audience becomes part of an interactive stage play. The production by Turbo Pascal and Drama Control combines theater, performance, and collective voting into an immediate live experience for visitors aged 10 and up.

Participating instead of just watching

No one remains passive in the audience. Together with the ensemble, the audience becomes the great lie detector and decides for themselves: What is true, what sounds convincing, and when does a small cheat become a big claim? The interactive dramaturgy creates a concentrated party atmosphere with tension, surprising twists, and direct involvement.

Truth, Fake News, and Alternative Facts

Lying Party scrutinizes social media, fake news, alternative facts, and everyday white lies. The piece poses questions that lead directly into everyday life: Is there a common truth? When does a lie protect other people? And how does a situation change when everyone participates and votes?

Turbo Pascal with a Strong Theatrical Style

The Berlin theater and performance collective Turbo Pascal has been collaborating consistently with renowned institutions such as Sophiensælen, HAU, Deutsches Theater, and Theater an der Parkaue since 2008. The production Evil Houses was invited to the piece market of the Berlin Theater Meeting 2018 and received the Tabori Prize. The production Distinguish Yourselves won the Ikarus Prize in 2019.

Intense Club Experience in Theaterrevier

The Theaterrevier in the former Zeche Eins provides the right setting for this unusual format. Instead of classic frontal theater, a shared negotiation space is created: stage, ensemble, and audience react directly to each other. Music, rhythm, eye contact, and votes create a lively dance floor atmosphere in a figurative sense – awake, playful, and full of energy.

Conclusion: An Interactive Search for Truth with a Surprise Effect

Lying Party promises no ordinary theater experience but a joint experiment between performance, discussion, and play. Anyone who wants to experience social issues with energy, humor, and direct participation should discover this performance live in Theaterrevier.
