exit strategy

exit strategy has spent the past year developing exit strategy presents HOW TO WIN A GAMESHOW , made possible by support from Triplets Amsterdam, Target Margin, CultureLab LIC and all of YOU. In August 2026, we will be premiering Gameshow at Edinburgh Fringe.  Thanks to Fractured Atlas, all of your contributions at this exciting time are tax-deductible. Your donations support  lodging, travel, venue fees, and per diem stipends for our four performers during our 16-show run. These tax-deductible contributions  supports local, experimental art-makers who are actively excavating ways to make meaningful sociopolitical performance statements in our contemporary contexts.
 
Gameshow opens to find a singular contestant–Graham–alone at a table. Graham has been the star of a popular gameshow for either 4 or 324 days. Led by a series of violently charming hosts, Graham and the audience compete against rules  neither party understands. The tasks are invasive, the stakes mysteriously high, and the audience increasingly implicated.

Part performance art, part improv show, part ethics inquiry, Gameshow blurs the line between performer and audience-rendering everyone subject to  scrutiny and manipulation by an absurd, controlling, overarching force. Gameshow asks, is there ever such a thing as a passive witness? More about gameshow can be found in our producer deck, here. And more about exit strategy can be found here.

THANK YOU thank you thank you!
