Description: Science based art? No, it’s not fractal imaging it’s Canberrian theater ensemble Bohemian Productions performing their interactive theatre piece A Prisoner's Dilemma. With lo-fi electronics and a live trombone soundtrack the four piece take Game Theory out of the lecture hall and into the theater. The narrative follows two scientists taken prisoner, offered rewards and punishments to inform on each other. Woven in and out of this story are a variety of interactive game-modules, in which the audience direct the performers using a variety of electronic control devices. - BC
