Five players. Five rounds. Your vote. One survivor. The stakes: your attention, love, approval, smile, pity, weakness, glee, heart, support, and judgment.

We help you decide with polls, voting guides, coalitions, campaigns, debates, exit polls, spin doctors and opinion polls. We make sure that the best does not win.

Fight Night has traveled all over the world, from Australia through Belgium to Canada, from Aalst to Switzerland. There were versions in Russia and Turkey, and the French version has toured through Europe. To this day, it is one of the most popular Ontroerend Goed performances, as voted by the public since 2013.

From the press:
"'Fight Night' unfolds into a vital examination of why we are so committed to our democratic institutions despite their failures and what the alternatives might be.  It is about how, when push comes to shove, we deal with dissent in a large society or a small space in which the majority has decided but a small minority refuses to agree" (The Scotsman – Joyce McMillan ★★★★)

  • This performance is delivered in English
