Blending elements of gameplay and performance, LEVEL 66 – The Arcade Project invites the audience to become players in a clash of ideas. Entering this liminal space – at an unspecified mid-way stage of a complex, ongoing and possibly rigged process – players are presented with scenarios and actions, and one simple question: to play or not to play.

Devised by Ip Yuk-yiu, a media artist known for incorporating computer games into his creative works, LEVEL 66 – The Arcade Project explores game as method and metaphor in experimental performance. The work was created in collaboration with students, teachers and graduates from the School of Theatre and Entertainment Arts at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, as well as the Theatre Team, Technical and Production Team at West Kowloon Cultural District.
