A play that you must experience
Premiere 14. 4. 2018
This is not a theatre performance; this is a game. There is no auditorium and no stage. It is a story that you can see only through the eyes of one of the characters. GAME is participation theatre based on the LARP (Live Action Role Playing Game) principles – a game where fictional characters play in real space and time. It is like playing a board game on a play field the size of a tennis court. You need no game piece because you are one yourself. Turn up at the exact time (in front of the Little Theatre), and we will drive you to a secret place to play the game. There is no emergency exit, and there is no recovery password. You have to play the game and finish it. You will spend approximately two hours on the spot, and then we will drive you back to the meeting place. You will be told the rules on the spot, and you will go through the game as one of the 50 characters in the story. To win you will have to solve all the problems of your character and fulfil all his or her wishes. You will be able to influence the development of the game at any time, both through your decisions, your words and acts. The way your story ends is only up to you. Try not to use your skills as an actor or actress, but your skills as a player. To play this game you will need to be ready to move around and perform tasks (physical activities, logical exercises, active communication with your fellow players). All GAME participants need to take on an active role during the game, and they cannot simply be “bystanders”. Light effects, shots, absolute darkness and scenes depicting explicit violence may be used in the course of the game. The game is not suitable for those under 15 years of age. To participate in the game you will have to follow the 1930s dress code. (For ideas search on Google.)
The game begins the moment you buy your ticket.
