We at Hotel Zajec are honoured to welcome* you to this historic meeting of delegations from your two great countries. May business be struck, accord be reached, and diplomacy secure that most elusive of prizes. We’re here to help. Over the course of a long hot weekend, let’s hope you can deal a better future into existence (and avoid an international incident on the dancefloor). *Of course because of the crisis, the hotel is not quite finished. And anyway it is not safe for you to travel. But we welcome you to our online establishment, and truly hope you enjoy your stay. - Coney is proud to present The Delegation, an online piece of immersive play, exploring the connection between two playing audiences from the UK and Russia. Following a series of lectures and masterclasses presented by Tassos Stevens to Russian audiences, The Delegation was commissioned by the 6th edition of International Summer Festival of Art The Access Point. It invites us to reflect on how our societies - while geographically disparate - find ourselves together in this time of crisis, experiencing the withering of post-pandemic capitalism, and pondering the ideal contents of a hotel minibar.

Audience Role

You’ll be free to explore the activities in the hotel and its attached conference centre. You’ll meet and exchange with players from both delegations. You will be invited to play as a diplomat, dealer or culture-broker, but it’s always up to you how much or little you play. If you want, you can always shut yourself in your hotel room (turn off your video and mike) and enjoy your amenities. Anyone under 18 should be accompanied by an adult.
