Produced during the exhibition Memory Is a Strange Bell at n.b.k. in context of Leonie Nagel’s displayed collage series Jedes Blatt eine Antwort auf das Entscheidungsproblem, this short film has been created in collaboration with Berlin youth theater participants. The project takes the game “Truth or Dare” as its starting point to explore inherent dynamics of decision-making and negotiation. The group develops an open script through improvisation, filming the process collaboratively. Negotiations regarding rules, decisions, and the game’s trajectory become integral to the work itself. The resulting experimental short film premieres at n.b.k. at the close of the exhibition.
