  The Agreements is a gamified concert - a contemporary classical music project for a virtual performance space. At its centre is a song cycle being created in response to nine agreements crafted by Debbie Patterson, a Canadian theatre writer and leading disability activist. Debbie, also the librettist for the project, lives with multiple sclerosis. These songs collectively act as her ideal pathway towards a more ethical future. Each song takes place in an interactive game environment. Audience members will navigate their own path through the songs and around three singers in a variety of virtual settings. As someone embracing the disruptions of disability, Debbie writes: “We know something about what it is to be human that everybody else doesn’t know yet.”
