How much are you willing to give for love?
TRUE ROMANCE takes viewers deep into the heart of pig butchering. First, everyone gets a new work phone and then it's off to the love start-up. We sell people what they really need: a real and beautiful relationship, the best damn relationship these people will ever have. And that can cost something. Until it's all gone. Really everything!
Pig butchering is the toughest form of love fraud. In endlessly professional call centers, endless beautiful messages are written on an assembly line; for weeks and months, the "customers" are fattened up with love every day, only to be slaughtered and lose everything.
Up to 15 viewers per show experience the work in a scam center. The play takes place live in the office between karaoke to Lana Del Rey's "Video Games" and beer pong and on the audience's new phones - via an app developed especially for the play.
TRUE ROMANCE - A play about the promise of love in the digital age. A play like a message from the person you love. A play just for you.
