The department of misfortunes

The Department of Misfortunes is an interactive show based on this concept:

A stop-motion animation is projected and during regular breaks, the public can vote and thus choose how the story will unfold. Eight musicians play the score live while an actor is the narrator who manages the vote and explains the procedure. 

Lenni doesn’t have any luck at all. Nothing seems to go the right way for him. On a particularly unlucky day, Lenni has a miraculous bit of luck: he discovers The Department of Misfortunes, which is responsible for everybody’s bad luck.
Will he try something? Destroy it? Stay in this situation?

These decisions and quite a few more are made by the audience who influences Lenni’s fate by voting. At each concert, a new story is told and projected, along which the live music is also new.

Animation film, 2014
