In Lessons of Leaking<\/em>, machina eX explores the moral conflicts in the tense territory between democracy, transparency, manipulation, and freedom of expression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Germany, 2021. After the countless crises of the 2010s, visions of a united Europe have finally succumbed to the reality of a full-scale security apparatus. Society is divided: critics across the political spectrum are demanding Germany exit the EU, whereas EU advocates want to hold on to the old ideal of a mutually supportive community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To calm the angry mood around the country, the government stages a one-time referendum on whether the Germany should leave the EU. A few days before the vote, under mysterious circumstances, a young PR officer gets ahold of some top-secret documents. If published, they would have devastating consequences for all of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In collaboration with the playwright Dmitrij Gawrisch, machina eX has created a theatrical game that illustrates the irreconcilable conflict between political ideals and personal interests. Together in a group of 10, the audience plays through the political thriller and ultimately determines the course of the story: To leak or not to leak?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By combining theater and interactive play installations, machina eX has created something sensational that, at least in this form, is unparalleled in the cultural landscape. Through the fusion of different art forms, the whole here is much more than the sum of its parts .<\/em><\/p>Daniel Raumer, Games Markt<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

There is something virtuosic about the way the inventors at machina eX translate digital play into downright moving analog situations, keeping the audience entertained with lovingly crafted puzzles while simultaneously playing through important social<\/em> issues\u2014without raising an all-knowing, moralizing finger. This type of honest, clever messaging isn\u2019t exactly<\/em> the order of the day, not to mention in the theater.<\/em><\/p>Andre Mumot, Deutschlandradio Kultur<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
