The multimedia show GACHA MANIA follows the inner struggle of a team of video game sound designers who are obsessed with creating the perfect opening sound for a loot box. Combining music, theatre, video and gaming, the piece paints a tragicomic portrait of digital capitalism and shows how hidden gambling mechanisms subtly influence perception, desire and behaviour in everyday life.

A new work created jointly by composer-performer Bernat Pont Anglada and the Berlin-based collective UNRUHE.

Produced as part of the JUNGE AKADEMIE, Academy of Arts, with the kind support of the German Orchestra Foundation.
