With Game Island the artist duo The Mycological Twist (Eloïse Bonneviot and Anne de Boer) create a live role-playing game that reconfigures the garden of Kronprinzenpalais as an organic playing field. Game Island tells the story of a world of mutations resulting out of the climate change. With amorphous game characters based on the elements of water, earth, fire, air and void, the players are led through various narratives, confronted with natural disasters and encouraged to engage in cross-species alliances – as a molecule, stone, bacterium or human being, each player is confronted with the reality of environmental conditions that threaten their existence – Will there be a future despite hostile conditions, are the diverse organisms able to evolve and survive or has the planet become uninhabitable for their own species?

Simultaneously Scene 1 of Intim/e by Isabel Lewis & Dirk Bell will be installed on the terrace of Schinkel Pavillon
