You wonder sometimes, do they know? Can they sense your presence guiding them? Or do they think it’s their own will moving their limbs, their own choices driving them forward? You are the one in control, but you are always apart, on the outside, watching them live in a world you can’t enter. Or, maybe you could?
On stage: Avatars, humans directed by headphone instructions.
In the audience: Operators, guiding and controlling the avatars on stage.
One act will be played as Avatar, the other as Operator. This means you will develop a 1-on-1 relationship to someone else in the audience and surrender control to each other.

WORK IN PROGRESS
We are working on a new performance A GAME OF LIFE. It will premiere in April 9th 2026 but we will already start playtesting. In this performance the audience participants will remote control or be controlled by each other, which will require some serious tryouts along the way.
Join us for playtest:
- In Nyxxx studio, Bagarmossen, on October 14th, 2025.
- at Playlab Skövde December 4 & 11th December 2025.
- at Turteatern, Stockholm February 11:th, 2026, 17:30 +
general rehearsal April 7:th, 2026, 19.00
E-mail me to join in!
We have a venue in Stockholm for the premiere but are looking for opportunities to perform in other cities too.
