That feeling of being new. Everyone’s staring at me. What am I actually supposed to do here? And then the question: “Are you new here?” Aaaahhh. Yes!

What happens when you’re somewhere for the first time and don’t know how anything works? Your first day at a museum. Your first day at a new job. Your first day in a world where everyone else seems to already know the rules. Where should I go? What am I allowed to touch? Who can I ask? When do I have to pretend I know what’s going on? And how do I actually know when I’ve settled in?

Together with the Year 7 pupils at Hector-Peterson School, machina eX is creating an interactive theatre game about arriving in new worlds.

Discovering and inventing rules, and playing with experiences and expectations. The players become newcomers in a world unknown to them, where they try to figure out, as inconspicuously as possible, how everything actually works here.
