MINISTRY OF STRANGE AFFAIRS
The ministry of strange affairs is a participatory performance piece in the form of a story telling game especially designed to activate play within the adult audience.
This website serves as an interactive tool to tell the story.
You will find information on how to participate as well as what the participants (agents) have completed.
This project has been initiated for the academic research on adult play during the Masters in Art education at the Belas Artes faculty in Lisbon, PT.
Participants are thus also subjects of research and will be required to answer some questions. Nobody will be forced to do anything they don't want to.
I am Aurélie d'Incau and I am the artist who created this artwork. I plan, design and perform the Ministry of strange affairs. Besides this, I also conduct the research on adult playfulness.
