About the Project
Nine strangers from vastly different racial, political, and socioeconomic backgrounds volunteer for what they believe is a compensated social survey.
They sign the waiver. They take a number. They wait. Then they are told the truth.
Out of the nine, one must be eliminated.
Locked in a room with a ticking clock and no outside authority to blame, the participants must collectively decide who deserves to live. What begins as rational discussion slowly fractures into something far more revealing: racism disguised as logic, prejudice masked as practicality, class hierarchy defended as necessity.
ISIM is a psychological chamber play that strips humanity down to its rawest instinct — survival — and asks an uncomfortable question:
When forced to choose, what do we really value?
This is not a play about villains. It is about bias. And the terrifying realization that no one in the room is innocent.
