There will be also a place for games in Once Upon a Time Super Mario, a "playable" exhibition at the Central de Diseño that invites to explore the universe of the famous Nintendo character and its creator, Japanese Shigueru Miyamoto.
Another fictional character, Arjón, will be responsible for introducing Matadero Madrid spaces through an story that Intermediae will provide to the reader on September 11th at www.arjon.intermediae.es and where the elephant created by Pablo Jarauta delves into the memories of those who lived at Matadero in the past.
Abierto x Obras also joins the night game with The Impossible Quest, a group exhibition that raises the anti-heroic task of creating a visual arts project parallel to La noche en blanco that will feature the participation of artists Lilli Hartmann, Javier and Patricia Esquivias Fresneda . In addition, Bruno Galindo explores the poetic side of the night with Slot Poetry, an installation of "literary slot machines."
Also, the Café Teatro will open its doors to offer 800.000 rostros en busca de actor / Faces-cabaret, a Patricia Esteban´s play that proposes a theatrical game based on roles exchange between actor and spectator using digital masks.
