Four players take on the role of a fellow community member. As the rest of us watch on, an unnerving and hyperlocal world is created through imagination and play. The streets of North Melbourne become a site of escalating and discomforting choices, where the lines of responsibility between ‘individual’ and ‘community’ blur.  

From shapeshifting Māori storyteller Daley Rangi, Dissent is an irreverent and provocative exploration of everyday resistance. Each roll of the dice and subsequent decision shapes an unfolding story, as we face predicaments that bring us into conflict with forces of authority, and with our own morality.  

With custom-designed game pieces and a supportive and playful host, this is a warm-hearted and immersive tabletop roleplaying encounter of ethical and social dilemma.   

No-one is forced to play, but as the game unfolds, you won’t be able to look away.
