Tower of Babel: Planet Earth/Game over/Reset

Participate in your life

Tower of Babel: Planet Earth/Game over/Reset combines the experiences of four European theater companies and is a groundbreaking work of interactive art. The show has included a young audience (13-16 years old) in the pre-production, the production and the performance itself. This is a story about the past, the present and the future. What may come and what may happen. Will humanity once again be able to gather around a common project? Or are we forever doomed to live and fight against each other?

The story takes place sometime in the future, after the climate collapse. Humans live like animals in small tribes, scattered across the earth. 32 participants are let in through four different entrances and become part of each tribe. Together with the actors, they embark on an interactive journey, moving through the set as if they were inside a video game. Participants take an active part in the action and make real choices along the way. They decide how the performance develops and how it ends. Eventually, the tribes meet. Can they make a choice together?

Under the direction of award-winning Norwegian director Hilde Brinchmann, the companies have explored the possibilities of theatrical interactivity. In an epic, visual and engaging performance, the young audience experiences an adventure they will remember for the rest of their lives. After the performance, we engage the participants in a post-performance conversation where we reflect together on the themes of the performance and the choices they made.
