Hypothetical: What If? presents a fictional epidemic to a panel of real-life experts from the fields of emergency response, disaster and crisis management, public health and virology. Organisations from these sectors frequently use hypothetical exercises to plan and perfect responses to particular emergency situations – such as extreme weather, bomb threat or lock-down. In real life, these exercises are commonly realistic, interactive and moderately stressful for participants.

In this highly performative and humorous iteration of a disaster exercise, our unlikely heroine/assistant/presenter will navigate the key moments of a terrifying Melbourne outbreak with the expert panel, all the while wishing she was at home bingeing Hollywood trash in a cocoon of disaster denial. She’ll need you. You’re invited to help her reveal what happens next
