Panel discussion on Sep 8, 2022 as a part of Art Electronica festival, as an opening event of ACuTe -project.
What is the truly transformative element in moving from theatre to digital theatre? How does the medium transform in a space within which the line between performers and recipients blurs?
In this panel, we want to explore how a new approach to audiences will shape the (digital) theatre scene of Europe and beyond in the coming years. A new understanding of the concepts of and relationships between theatre, audience, performance, and space is what constitutes the digital transformation of theatre as a medium.
