Fight Night on Oct 15, 2024 | UCSB Arts & Lectures

“Funny, revealing, and very invigorating… You will encounter things that no U.S. company would dare do.” Chicago Tribune

“Without even a single political reference… Fight Night makes a precarious analysis of the consensus politics our democratic system has fallen into.” De Morgen (Belgium)

Five contenders. Five rounds. Your vote. Only one will survive.

In the leadup to the 2024 presidential election, innovative Belgian theater company Ontroerend Goed offers a fun and thought-provoking night of interactive theater. A critically-acclaimed hit of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Fight Night puts digital voting devices – and the fate of its candidates – into the hands of the audience. With no political ideology or mention of politics, this production is a sharp, impartial and completely entertaining analysis of how democracy works. Make your vote count!
