What stories do family photos hold? On Saturday afternoon, 30 May, you’ll spend an afternoon exploring a family story, together with a small group of participants. This unique live-action role-playing event is a one-off at NEMO, with space for up to 30 people.
Using torn family photos, you’ll play a character in a family drama shaped by complex relationships and shared history. You’ll act out scenes, reveal hidden stories and ultimately uncover why the family archive was destroyed, and by whom. No gaming experience is required. Just curiosity and a willingness to step into someone else’s shoes for a while. The event was developed by artist Jana Romanova, whose own family story forms the basis of Broken Archive.
Language: The game is in English
Location: Theatre on the second floor of NEMO
Programme: 13:00 – 17:00
Age: 18+
You can visit NEMO before the event.
As the break offers limited time, we advise participants to have lunch prior to the session.
Secure your place quickly, as there is only room for 30 participants.
This event forms part of the programme for the Play theme year. In 2026, play will take centre stage at NEMO. Highlights include the Game On exhibition on video games, play activities for adults, an online feature on NEMO Kennislink, and the arrival of game designer and professor Mary Flanagan as Artist in Residence.
