In 2020, Boho was commissioned by Canberra Theatre Centre and Where You Are Festival to create a new theatre show about the future of Australia’s capital city.

Working with scientists from CSIRO and designer Julia Johnson, Boho created a game where players guide Canberra through the coming decades, building resilience in anticipation of disasters.

Players formed teams representing suburbs of Canberra, and navigated building a general resilience for the city while ensuring the safety of their residents from specific, local dangers.

This game was performed for a hybrid audience of live and digital players, and run remotely for local schools.
