THE INSIDER is a sound-intense and suspense-filled performance combining 3D and cinematic sound, live acting and video projection. It is about deception, genius, greed and the cum-ex tax scam!

Get inside the frontal lobes of a young financier who helped devise the world’s biggest robbery of the treasuries of the European states amounting to more than 53 billion Euro!

THE INSIDER is based on the german state’s crown witness in the real international case of dividend tax fraud. It is told through a young family father and tax lawyer in one of the world’s largest banks. You’ll join him from his starting point as an ambitious freshman with an ingenious interpretation of the tax laws, leading to a bloodbath of state-treasury-looting … At some point he decides to switch sides and help the police catch an extensive network of criminal accomplices. A network of people instrumentalising the criminal methods sucking at least 53 billion Euro out of European treasuries … a network affiliated with some of the world’s largest banks.

We are part of his transformation; how he comprehends and justifies robbing billions of Euros that were supposed to fund the welfare for ordinary people like you and I.

With headphones on throughout the performance, you’ll experience the insider live on stage inside your head – with 3D sound (binaural sound), cinematic sound and multiple characters in your ears. Topped with video design and music you get a mindful and sensual experience about predators hunting the money paying for your welfare!
