CHIMORONA

CHIMORONA is a processual online RPG video theater that evolves with its collective decentralized performance played by 10 individuals and an audience. This project explores the emergence of social_design strategies, social hierarchies and complex situations by involving the participants in various debates where they have to hold a point of view that they might not hold in their real life. The participants co-design performative conversations which will be revised by themselves at the end of the play. The Play takes place in a fictive support group for people who are together in a quarantine due to the covid-19 pandemic. Each of the characters will try to achieve a mission given to them. 5 of the characters want to pursue collective goals, while the other half want to pursue individual goals; they shall never explicitly reveal this quest to the other participants. In the last Act the participants will drop characters and engage in a personal discussion to collectively evaluate how the fictive community self_organized and which of the missions could be achieved by which costs.

CHIMORONA was developed with Luize Nezberte, Julian Meierhofer, Martin Eichler, Janina Weißengruber, Tina Enöckl, Daniel Hüttler Sofia Altamirano, Sebastian Mittl
