Here Is My Power Button is an intimate near-future interactive theater experience about relationships, identity, technology, and power.
It features an asymmetrical play experience about humans interacting with artificial intelligence companions. Participants playing AI will experience learning from the examples of the human with whom they interact. Participants playing humans will workshop a character who has found reason to engage in a focus group for testing a companion AI.
This game is thoughtful, introspective, and often emotional. Come with an open mind and ready to play. Content is likely to include: power in relationships, identity invalidation, emotional dependence, loss and grieving, memory erasure, and sustained one-on-one play.
Open to people experienced with larp (live action roleplay) as well as people who have never heard of it before.
