But this time something is amiss. The game is broken. The game is unfinished. The game\u2019s designer is desperate. This should have been her big breakthrough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But however you look at it, the game is a disaster. In <em>DISASTER<\/em>, machina eX takes audience members behind the scenes, inviting them to participate in the process of creating a game. Inevitably, questions of power and control arise, which go beyond aesthetic discourse. How do we deal with systems of control? And how can we create consensus around rules?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group secondary-shadow-box has-border-color has-secondary-border-color is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-34847c9e wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-width:1px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Premiere \/ Venues<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Premiere in December 2018 at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hebbel-am-ufer.de\/\">HAU Hebbel am Ufer<\/a>, Berlin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May 2019 at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fft-duesseldorf.de\">FFT D\u00fcsseldorf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>December 2019 at the <a href=\"https:\/\/theater-roxy.ch\/\">ROXY Birsfelden<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. to 6.
