A retrospective for the 15th anniversary of machina eX<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2010, machina eX has been producing interactive theater pieces that are also walk-through video games. The collective celebrated its 15th anniversary with a retrospective at HAU Hebbel am Ufer, which has been the group\u2019s closest partner from the very beginning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of ” On and On and On and On<\/em>,” the Theater Games took place Life Goes On<\/a><\/em> and Intranet<\/a><\/em> were performed once again. The program also included an anniversary exhibition, two workshops, and discussion panels where guests exchanged ideas about the past, present, and future of game theater. The result was a four-day showcase at HAU3 that brought together old and new machina-eX players, industry professionals and school classes, gamers and theatergoers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the House Club, you can also experience a new staging of a machina-eX classic: Students at the Fritz-Karsen School explore the sci-fi dystopia *15,000 Gray*<\/em> (2011) through 15,000 Games<\/em>, using the 15,000 Gray DIY Kit<\/a><\/em>, which machina eX released in 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
