Het Cybercrimineel Toneel

The Cybercriminal Acting School (Interactive performance)

The Cybercriminal Acting School opens its doors to a new generation of scammers. While we often have a one-sided image of hackers wearing hoodies in attic rooms, reality shows that cybercrime unfolds in many more scenarios. In fact, cybercriminals are skilled actors who use improvisational techniques, creativity, and the ability to play on emotions. By learning the tricks of the trade in this fictional cybercriminal acting school, the invisible world behind cybercrime will be dismantled, and themes such as digital justice, resilience, stigma, and e-democracy will come to light.

By inviting the audience into this interactive performance, resilience is fostered in a playful way, and awareness of how to protect yourself from cybercrime is raised.

Premiered during Come Together at Frascati theatre Amsterdam.

Femke Hoppenbrouwer (1998) is a Dutch social designer and artist who addresses large societal topics by zooming in on small recognisable details from everyday life. She engages with complex public issues, such as ageism, inclusivity and social stigma’s, by transforming them into playful works using joy, humor and celebration. Her practice seeks to build bridges between the worlds of art and design and social fields in order to make each more approachable to wider audiences.

Combining field-based research, community collaboration and artistic experimentation, Femke creates mixed-media works, primarily using film and performance, that aim to subvert stereotypes and introduce alternative narratives that put a smile on your face while making you critically aware about the world around us.

Alongside her art & design practice, Femke is active as a creative for the Dutch human rights organisation Humanistisch Verbond, as well as part of Touchy Studios and tutoring at Design Academy Eindhoven.
