The Game
Trickster‑p, Lugano (CH)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Exploring the potential of games as art, Trickster‑p creates more than ​“mere” performances. Following the success of Eutopia (staged at Rotondes in 2024), the Swiss company presents The game, a participatory and intergenerational project that questions the structures and economic dynamics of contemporary society.

It really is simpler than you think : Imagine you are part of a group, you own a cow, and you have decisions to make. Do you want to put it in production or keep it free on the pasture ? Now, throw gold bars into the equation. How do they influence your actions ? The game requires skill and strategy, instinct and vision. But as it unfolds, are the choices truly yours, or are you being played by the system ?
