The Trojan Horse is the legend of a perfect stroke of genius. Sitting as a group inside the famous wooden horse, the audience experiences ancient history up close from this perspective. The multimedia theater parcours connects the myth with contemporary history and plays with the construction of reality.

The war has already gone on for too long. How can it finally be ended? If not on the battlefield, then perhaps with a trick, a clever move? The tale of the famous wooden horse symbolically represents how staging and the manipulation of information can decide wars. Whoever determines what is "true" wins.

Post Theater stages this myth as a struggle for truth in a maximally immersive way, drawing on extensive experience with video art and performance: multi-channel video, surround audio, acting, and dance come together. The audience encounters familiar figures from ancient mythology and experiences them anew in a different and approachable way.
