A compelling physical performance shows how media turn athletes into objects of fascination and victims of their own displays. In a mesmerisingly slow motion, in a sandy square – an arena, battlefield, and refuge all at once – we observe an extraordinary interplay of bodies pushing the limits of human potential. With absurd humour and striking visuals, Glory Game examines the cost of fame, pain, and sacrifice that athletes endure for the entertainment and pleasure of audiences.
