A storm rages outside. Inside, a retired hitman recounts his past to a curious writer. But his memories don’t stay still – they sing, scream and bleed back into the room. Each kill is a haunting aria, each story a psychological duel. As the tension rises, it becomes clear: this is no ordinary interview… and nothing is what it seems.

Part thriller, part opera, part game – BadaBoom is theatre like you’ve never seen. At key moments, the audience joins the action, stepping into augmented-reality flashbacks where clowns, cowboys and soldiers return from the dead.

It’s live performance, reimagined. A world-first blend of gaming and storytelling where the audience doesn’t just watch – they ‘battle’. So it’s one shot to experience the future of theatre – don’t miss out!
