Hold On Let Go 2025 - The Archive of Missing Things by Zuppa

When: Feb 5, 2025 @ 830pm
Where: The Russian Hall (600 Campbell Ave. Vancouver)

“The Archive of Missing Things was founded in order to collect, catalogue and store all missing objects that are in the world. The Archive was built around a secret.”

The Archive of Missing Things is a web-based game, inspired by Zuppa’s critically acclaimed live show of the same name. You sit at a long table, one of several players attempting to uncover the correct path in an online gamebook. You have 90 minutes to find The Heart of the Archive. Do you go it alone, or share information with other players? Do you get lost in the story, or in the thrill of pursuit? Clues to guide your online journey are all around you: in video and audio tracks, even in the room itself. You will have to be observant... and lucky.

The Archive of Missing Things is a meditative quest for the age of rising sea levels.

For this special presentation, Zuppa will host audience members through the web-based game on their own laptops, while sharing parts of the visual world at the Russian Hall for HOLD ON LET GO.
