What happens when three young Brits mistake a stolen philosophy book for a literal step-by-step manual?Fair Love Collective presents WHEN YOU ARE A TICK, a surreal dark comedy play following a chaotic gang's fast-paced descent into a conceptual cult. Trying to physically reshape their Umwelt (their perceived reality), their absurd crimes become increasingly violent - like threatening to blind a wedding photographer to alter his worldview.Desperate for answers, the gang hunts down the elusive Philosopher - only to find him physically moving furniture to woo the Relationship anarchist chick, with whom everyone is in love in their own ways.Driven by a live, folk-electronic score, this play with songs seamlessly mirrors its fictional chaos against real-life verbatim testimonies of radical worldview shifts, delivered by puppets. Blending sharp dialogue, contemporary dance, and striking video-art projections, the show culminates in a live audience jury vote.Will you punish them or set them free? Come for the chaos, stay for the philosophy.Running time: Approximately 60 minutesLATECOMERS MAY NOT BE ADMITTED.
