Until Proven Human at Barons Court Theatre

Until Proven Human is an interactive theatre work combining gameplay and live performance.

The audience is invited to become part of the show. The story takes place in a society where monsters are believed to be hiding among humans.

The audience is invited to attend a civic assembly and take part in a series of tests designed to determine their place in society.To survive, each person must prove that they are human. But there is no clear right answer.Safety depends on staying with the majority. The audience must make decisions and negotiate with those around them. Their actions affect what happens next and change the direction of the performance.

Inspired by historical systems of classification, identity screening, and social exclusion, Until Proven Human explores power, classification, and the construction of minority groups. Blending immersive gameplay with live performance, it asks one unsettling question:

Who is the monster?
