📢 Migration as a strange, extreme sport 👟 Vienna, 2009 🏠 Wiener Festwochen / Into The City 🐯 with Lukas Mattaei 🔗 website
Scene from the final day of the game, participants receive back their passports

The first of a series of collaborations with theater director Lukas Matthaei. For the festival Wiener Festwochen / Into The City 2009, we realized a city-wide alternate reality game dealing with various aspects of migration.

Austrian nationals taking part symbolically sealed their passports at the beginning of the game. Over 10 days they were coached and evaluated by a team of real migrants on how to best survive in a post-national reality.

An online-layer tied together the different places, stories and results.
