National Theatre Wales

Live Bordergame players will attempt, illegally, to cross the border from Bristol into Newport, without arousing the suspicions of the Border Agency of the Autonomous Republic of Cymru (BAARC). Meanwhile, online players will register as Active Citizens of the Autonomous Republic, watch the live players’ journeys, manipulate their experiences and even determine their fate. Are you game?

Bordergame, which is co-created by artists John Norton and Matthew Wright, is inspired partly by the UK Citizenship test, and has been developed in consultation with refugees and asylum seekers now living in south Wales.

Bordergame takes place at covert locations between Bristol and Newport. The ticket price does not include travel. Audiences will need to purchase a train ticket to travel between Bristol and Newport for the performance. Recommended for ages 18+.
