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.
