WHAT IS FIGHT CLUB?
Picture this:
- Darkened
empty loft space.
- Two Fighters within a chalk circle, under a spotlight.
- Around the circle are 100 standing onlookers.
- One subject matter, two radically opposing opinions.
- Heartfelt opinions, careful answers, and passionate arguments.
The two Fighters take extreme for and against stances to debate the merits
and pitfalls of the chosen debate topic. The surrounding audience or 'crowd'
openly add their spice to the debate from all sides.
First
Rule of Fight Club: There can only be
one winner
Second Rule of Fight Club: There are no debate rules
