Interactive Narratives in the form of Interactive Theater have the potential to offer a transformational learning experience on societal and political topics. The purposive interactive installation Angstfabriek (Dutch for fear factory) lets visitors experience fear-mongering and the related safety industry, with the goal of eliciting reflection, insight and discussion. As a case study for a potentially transformative experience, the installation is described and evaluated by means of a focus group interview and a pilot user experience study (N = 32). Findings show the importance of sufficient scripting of interactors regarding their role and agency, highlighting the conceptual connection between interactive digital narrative design and interactive theater design.
