Job

[This performance is the output of a How to Live and Work Now residency].

Borrowing elements from role-playing and escape rooms, Job is an online game performance in which you are remotely commanding a live avatar. The performance unfolds as a puzzle-solving narrative, located in the storage and technical rooms of Kaaitheater. Job explores the possibility of an avatar to ‘prefer not to’ follow your commands, and addresses the difficulty artists face towards the demand for increasing production and efficiency.

And even Macmann himself was compelled to admit that the place swept by him looked dirtier at his departure than on his arrival. – Malone dies by Samuel Beckett
