Performers wearing puppet heads portray Big Data Execs, government officials, and other powerful stakeholders eager to control your data. They engage the audience in a playful hide-and-seek-style interaction, encouraging you to sign data release forms to reclaim control. Through this quirky game, the performance sparks thought-provoking questions about data ownership and who truly holds power over our personal information.
