Riksteatret, Norway's national theater, is embracing the world of gaming by launching a unique theater production titled "Skorpionens spill. I skyggen av Roblox". This innovative performance features six ordinary children, chosen from enthusiastic applicants across Norway, who engage in gaming on stage alongside a game master, Mie Omholt. The production is set in a vibrant pink scenery designed by Mari Lotherington, where the gaming experience is projected on a large screen for the audience to share in the fun and excitement.

The selection of children to participate in the performance highlights a trend toward recognizing and valuing the interests of youth in contemporary culture, particularly in the realms of gaming. These so-called 'skuegamere' offer a fresh perspective on how gaming can be incorporated into artistic expression, blurring the lines between performance art and interactive experiences. The production aims to resonate with young audiences, presenting gaming not merely as a pastime but as a significant and engaging aspect of modern youth culture.

By staging such a performance, Riksteatret not only entertains but also opens up discussions about gaming among children and their families, potentially alleviating skepticism around gaming. This initiative could pave the way for more cultural institutions to explore and incorporate aspects of gaming into their programming, fostering a greater appreciation for the varied forms of expression that resonate with younger generations.
