Description Fifteen years ago, a group of Australians made 'Escape From Woomera': a politically explosive video game that put players in the shoes of a refugee held in immigration detention. Applespiel invite you to play 'Escape from Woomera' in this specially commissioned live gaming and performance experience. Each night, the artists create a live commentary to accompany the gameplay alongside human rights advocates, refugees and the creators of the original game, exploring the contemporary significance of this cultural intervention.
