Good Game

In the musical theater performance Good Game, young gamers themselves gave insight into the added value and pitfalls of gaming. The performance took you into the lives of a diverse group of young gamers and created a gaming experience in real life.

The game world is infinitely rich. Start up a game, and within seconds you are in another era, taking your first step on another planet or stepping into somebody else's shoes.

Professional musical theater makers from Het Geluid Maastricht, Studio 52nd and the Asko|Schönberg ensemble collaborated with Waag Futrelav and a group of young gamers on texts and compositions for this live musical theater performance. 

What did Waag do? 

Waag guided young people in creating musical excerpts using various technologies. By getting hands-on with music technology themselves, they learnt technological and musical skills. Composing music through software is actually a metaphor for learning code (programming language).

The premiere

On Friday, December 9, 2023 the performance Good Game premiered at Theater De Krakeling in Amsterdam-West. Furthermore, the performance toured schools and theaters throughout the country.
