Best Before is a PuSh Festival commission that pulls the multi-player video game out of the virtual realm and plugs it into an intimate theatre setting. Each audience member navigates an anonymous avatar, interacting with a panel of on-stage experts — an electronic artist, a game tester, a politician and a traffic flagger. A simulated city, BestLand, gradually develops as each of the 200 audience members add their personal touch with game controller in hand. Taking its inspiration from Vancouver's gaming industry, BestLand evolves and devolves as the audience clashes and collaborates while making personal, social and political decisions.
Co-produced with the following partners: Brighton Dome and Festival; Goethe-Institut; Hebbel am Ufer; Luminato - Toronto’s Festival of Arts and Creativity; PuSh International Performing Arts Festival; Rimini Protokoll; The Cultch. Supported by Arts Partners in Creative Development and the Federal Republic of Germany.
