As though #EverythingIsCake, @exitstrategy_’s How to Win a Gameshow is a deceptively ingenious, yummy morsel of interactive theatre. Cheerfully sinister, it meditates on power, surveillance & obedience—and we’re kinda obsessed… 😍 First, smile, cuties—cause we’re all on camera… 📹 The camcorder lenses seem to focus on Graham, but signs confirm we’re all under scrutiny. Onscreen, we sit behind him: the spectators, jury and lab rats within this panopticon. It’s giving The Truman Show — but are we the entertained or the entertainment? A blue-haired, benevolent dictator of a host issues instructions in a soothing voice that makes every off-kilter request sound safe, even as Graham’s strained smile & desperate need for approval hint otherwise. He competes against volunteers in mini-games with clear rules but obscure implications. Why must we repeat Graham’s personal affirmations? Answer impossible questions about his childhood? Why may winners take only certain sweets as rewards—no, not that one… 🍬 Graham is the reigning champ, but unlike your grandma’s Jeopardy!, it’s not clear he’ll ever leave to enjoy the honour. His version of a victory lap is permission to sing #RhinestoneCowboy — a beautiful moment of pure joy made strange by the host’s irritation. Every. Single. Detail is painstakingly abnormal… Exit Strategy engineers “safe discomfort” with remarkable precision. Through overt invitations, implied cajoling and loaded silences, the games teach us to obey & perform as required. It’s Squid Game-flavoured, baited with an elusive cash prize. In this economy, maybe that’s all it takes to make a crowd pliable… 😭 From agility tests to the world’s longest questionnaire (delivered by a host with a Band-Aid in his Afro, let’s not question it) this spectacle becomes a modern Stanford Prison Experiment, demonstrating that attention + approval + prizes = compliance. By the final challenge, we understand what the system wants without being told. Control is complete when its subjects enforce the rules themselves… 🙊 Profoundly brilliant and hilariously unsettling, we know we’re being manipulated, and yet we enthusiastically consent. 5/5 #theatre #interactive #fringe

🌎s BIGGEST problem & how to solve it This content is intended to show that our opinions are largely more similar than they are not & also to illustrate that the solution to our issues are vastly uncomplicated (so therefore attainable) than they may seem. So what do you think is the world’s biggest problem? Full episodes of my show @barriomundo are available to listen to via the @kchungradio (dot org) archive.
