Synopsis

Scarce City is an interactive arts x tech experience that fuses serious games and immersive theatre to explore the psychology behind climate change and what it means to have enough. Audiences navigate a light-based resource management game involving body tracking technology and a 3D-printed environment made from recycled plastic. Inspired by Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics, the experience asks: What is enough? What happens when our society is driven by a predominant narrative of scarcity? An intimate post-game discussion invites participants to reflect on what it means to win and draws connections between their in-game psychology and their real-world implications for the climate transition.
