BORDER GRID transposes the idea of an escape room to a border zone: the audience accompanies several people on their journey, taking decisions with them and crossing borders together – in space, in time and in their minds. This interactive puzzle and experiential space is made up of life stories and worlds of thinking from a series of subjects that Tobias Hammerle interviewed in Mexico, Chile, Israel and the UK.

The performance takes place in a room whose walls consist of high-resolution video walls that are able to transform dynamically in response to the story and interactions. The title BORDER GRID, a grid of borders, describes the nucleus of the project and its artistic vision: what if the borders that surround us, the conventions, rules, national borders could be connections rather than lines that divide us?
