Crimes of Passion is an immersive and participatory performance examining the downsides of romantic love. That it’s a Ponzi-scheme which entices millions of people every year – especially the young – and deprives them of the opportunity to live a rich and meaningful life. Crimes of Passion comes in the form of a congregation that has shouldered the responsibilty of giving the victims of romantic love an alternative community. A communion that comes with a price. The performance is for everyone who ever felt the pain of love, regardless of current or former relationship status.
