INVENTIONS is a working prototype for democratic theater. Every night, audiences vote on real production decisions through secure, transparent systems, your voice shapes the show. This isn't just a gimmick. It's re-imagining classical theatre where consciousness itself becomes the question: What happens when we give power to language, to create itself? Where does it leave us in our local communities and our democracy? These questions are opened and examined together with the audience each night of our local Chicago performances. Activism as art, starting our grassroots democratic systems. Educating ourselves are our community on modern technologies that could answer ancient problems of democratic governance.
