a-n magazine preview, May 2008

Now summer is close and outdoor pursuits are less forbidding, Reactor's latest participatory adventure invites us outside once again. Set in Austrian parkland, Munkanon is populated by anonymous chipmunk figures who promise enlightenment to individuals who successfully negotiate their way through this secret society. Those who have experienced Reactor's previous 'Alice in Borstal-land' style events will be familiar with the authoritarian characters, disorientation and complete submission to seemingly arbitrary or alien rules that define Reactor's practice. Donau Festival in Austria will be the setting for Munkanon.
