ABOUT THE PROJECT

Binge Culture presents the international premiere of Berlin-based game theatre collective machina eX’s deftly-designed DISASTER. An exclusive immersive experience for up to 12 people at a time.

You are invited to explore interactive spaces, solve puzzles, and navigate your way through a story together. But this time something is amiss. The game is broken. The game is unfinished. The game’s designer is desperate. This was supposed to be her big break: Immersive, participatory, narrative, subversive— a meta monstrosity!

But however you look at it, the game is a disaster.

In DISASTER, go behind the scenes in the creation of a large-scale game and high-stakes story that questions how we deal with systems of control.

Disaster is made possible in Te Whanganui-a-Tara with the support of Creative New Zealand, and Goethe-Institut and the International Coproduction Fund.

This production is part of an international show exchange project between Binge Culture and game-theatre collective machina eX (Germany); both an artistic exchange and alternative to touring - at the end of which two international productions will be presented in Aotearoa and Germany.

An exclusive immersive experience for up to 12 people at a time.
