Actor (m/d) as "defendant" for the interactive theater "The Jury Experience"

The interactive theater "The Jury Experience" is looking for an actor for the role of the accused AI engineer Antony Hulmer.

The company is looking for a new cast for the first case in the series for the new Leipzig production. "The Jury Experience" is a series of interactive theater experiences based on fictional court cases. The first case to be developed is about a self-driving car and the accident it caused.

The audience takes on the role of the jury and decides via smartphone whether evidence or witness statements are admitted and whether the defendant is found guilty. The final outcome of the play is therefore decided by the audience. The actors represent the various court parties and must react to the decisions of the "jury" during the performance.

    rehearsal days can be freely agreed with the director and the players)
- 400.00 EUR daily fee for performances (two performances per day)
- 150.00 EUR travel allowance for performances outside Leipzig
- possibly takeover for further cases within the series (new rehearsal fees in each case)

We are looking for:
- an actor, male, playing age: 25-45
- completed professional acting studies
- fluency in German, at best native speaker level
- experience or affinity for interactive formats is desirable,
