Rimini Protokoll's Best Before (Rehearsal Footage)

Please note that the above footage was taken from rehearsals of Best Before, in December of 2009, while the project was still in the development and creation stage.

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.
