The 2024 PuSh Festival will include asses.masses, a custom-made video game about labour, technophobia and sharing the load of revolution, designed to be played from beginning to end in a live theatre. This is gaming as performance; an immersive, cheeky, and highly original work.

Audiences work together to play an epic video game about a donkey revolution, and take turns at the controller to lead the herd through a post-Industrial society, where asses are valued more for their hides than their potential. This is Animal Farm meets Pokémonmeets Final Fantasy. No previous gaming experience required.
