Are you an avid gamer? Or are you that parent who has no idea what goes on in your child's virtual world? Actress Julia Ghysels plays a mother who loses her child and logs into his game.

At that moment she loses herself, both in the play and in the piece. She plays all the personages on her own; a woman building a monument in her garden for her dead son, that dead son himself, the angry neighbor who wants the monument gone as quickly as possible, the grieving husband calling a psychic and a pixelated bear locked in a video game.
Julia plays. She plays ... what she thinks she should play. But who actually sets the rules of the game? Moving guaranteed in Saved Gamea performance about grief and virtual healing through play.
