Theater en toneel

The CEO of a major pharmaceutical company is being threatened. After a failed assassination attempt, the blame seems clear: the attacker was stirred up by an online channel spreading conspiracy theories about the company. In a fit of rage, the CEO decides to pay the makers of the online channel a visit at home. What follows is a confrontation full of incomprehension, old wounds and revenge.

A small group of pharmaceutical companies has a huge influence on our healthcare, and with it our daily lives. Their medicines save lives, but they also make enormous profits for the businesspeople and shareholders behind them. How unfair is that system?

Conspiracy theorists see Big Pharma as part of a bigger problem: our world is ruled by powerful, invisible forces. What happens when representatives of these worlds meet?

The director on Big Pharma
“When you immerse yourself in the world of conspiracy theories, you end up in a dark hall of mirrors where nothing is what it seems. The facts of conspiracy theorists are usually wrong, but their instincts are sometimes right – even if they are often paranoid. Conspiracy theorists expose how we, more often than we care to admit, are not critical enough of the systems around us.” (Eric de Vroedt)
