What is more fundamental: the fact that you are a unique individual, or your relationship to others in your social group, family or society?
In a night of science, music and games, audience members will explore this issue in mass participation experiments. Through their phones or tablets, people will connect to a website displayed on a large screen at the front of the theatre. Together everyone will play games, collaborate with musicians in making music, take difficult decisions, and experience whether they perform better as individuals or as a group. We will discuss how their group behaviour can be understood using the latest tools in social science research.
