About Wilison Labs
00:45:00 is a thriller from Wilison Labs in which five people walk into a room and only one will make it out alive. The experiment plays out in real time through the lens of a scientist pursuing a philosophical question: is one person's life more valuable than another's, and how can anyone make that decision? The show dares those who sit back and watch to do something — and explores what happens when they do. It runs 50 minutes at theSpace @ Venue 45.
Why see this show?
A tense, real-time philosophical thriller that implicates the audience in its central dilemma. If you want theatre that makes you think about complicity and moral choice, this is it.
