“Can We Have a Word? (The Game Show)” is a fast-paced, word-driven improv competition where two teams turn language into laughs.
Using words derived from a single audience suggestion, players face dynamic improvisational challenges, creating scenes and worlds where language distorts reality. Interactive, unpredictable and full of playful creativity, this show connects words and imagination!

This show transforms language into a world-building tool. With each round, words shape new realities, redefining meanings and creating new vocabularies—enabling players to build imaginative worlds that would otherwise not exist. The show explores how language is not just a means of communication, but a gateway to infinite possibilities—making it a perfect fit with the festival’s theme.

With this proposal, my goal is to encourage improvisers to use language as a creative force, challenging them to generate, reinterpret, and incorporate words in unexpected ways. The show encourages quick thinking, collaboration, and playful storytelling, while making world-building accessible to all levels of experience. By combining structured competition with imaginative freedom, the show invites performers and audiences to see words not just as tools, but as portals to new realities.
