Stranger is a life-size board game, developed by Emke Idema, starting from her fascination for the mechanisms that are at work when people look at other people. Stranger is a playful platform that tries to reveal the tension between our social norms and our intuition. What strategies do people use in this field of tension? Stranger is a platform in which the audience actively chooses, engages and speaks herself out. From the premiere on, Stranger got a lot of attention in the Netherlands, because of its unique form: a form of participatory theatre which has not been seen so worked out in the performing arts field.
