Every night, an audience of 200 will find themselves immersed in the world of video games, in a digitally simulated city, shown on a gigantic video screen. Real-life gamers and game designers are among the expert protagonists, while every audience member, equipped with a game controller, is represented by an avatar. From their interaction emerges a simulated city – whose fate you, as one of the players, will help determine in a drama as spontaneous and unpredictable as life itself.

Another Rimini Protokoll creation, this film documents a theatre piece by the company that explores how Kolkata and Berlin continue to differ and unite. The unique theatre piece is based on outsourcing, as performers located at a call center in Calcutta guide a single cell-phone caller through the narrow streets of Berlin. Re-developed with the Goethe-Institut Kolkata.
