Performed inside a real city hall, City Hall transforms the audience into the electorate, the chamber into the stage, and every performance into a live vote on the city’s future.

As rising seas threaten to swallow the city, a billionaire developer offers the solution the city cannot afford: he will fund the infrastructure needed to save it, but only if democracy steps aside and his company takes control for a generation. What follows is a gripping, high-stakes battle between survival and sovereignty, speed and accountability, private power and the public good.

Immersive, urgent, and different every night, City Hall is a love letter to democracy that asks its audience to do more than watch. It asks them to decide: when the system is failing, do you fix it or give it away?
