a political body

"If we take Hannah Arendt’s definition of the political [...]
 as being any action that is performed in public, we must
contend with the implications of what that excludes. "
-Johanna Hedva

It is 21 January 2017, the morning of the Women's March, the largest single-day protest in US history to date. That's because it's the second day of the Trump administration.

You wake up with a stress-triggered flare of your relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, throwing your plans to protest (and go on a date tonight) into chaos.

a political body is a three-player, one-and-a-half hour scenario, inspired by Johanna Hedva's "Sick Woman Theory" and my own experiences as a DC resident with RRMS.

Play as the emotions of the would-be marcher, weighing their short-term wellbeing against their long-term wellbeing.
