PRESS Play (10+)
PRESS Play (10+)
Decide all by yourself what you want to see on stage. You can determine how the world on stage changes. What direction do you want the story to go in? What will happen to the characters?
Audience becomes player becomes audience.
You are increasingly directing your own world. You decide what to see and what not to see on social media. The world around us seems increasingly “makeable”. This entails a false sense of control – and above all a great sense of responsibility: you can choose who you are, right? Or does it just seem like you can?
Are you manipulating things yourself, or are you being manipulated? And what happens when it turns out you are not the only one with a remote control? Is there also a pause button? Through PRESS Play, playField and KOPERGIETERY are in search of the land behind all avatars and the hidden algorithms that sneakily make you lean towards a certain direction. Is it time for ardent resistance? Come and play along…
PRESS Play premiered in February 2022.
