**Description:**
On the brink of a presidential election that many consider the most consequential in history, Belgium’s extraordinary Ontroerend Goed presents "Fight Night," a fun and thought-provoking examination of free will and politics. This immersive performance puts electronic voting devices and the candidates’ fates directly into the hands of the audience members.

Originally created in 2013 and critically acclaimed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, "Fight Night" has been reimagined for the present day. Each performance takes a different turn depending on the audience, making every show unique. The production does not promote any specific political message, ideology, or social or economic reality. Instead, it highlights the reasons and motivations behind voting behaviors and how the battle for attention, sympathy, and approval can lead to surprising and superficial snap judgments.

If you are weary of the constant political antagonism in daily life, this sharp analysis of democracy will make you reconsider why we care so much. It is funny, revealing, and invigorating, offering an experience that no US company would dare to replicate.
