In C\:>how2become (data) & dissolve_into: ‘tears’ performance and performativity migrate from the physical space into the virtual realm. The performers’ bodies and theatrical space itself are dematerialized and originate new digital interactions and non-anthropomorphic possibilities of representation. Following transmedia premises, the narrative is divided into four chapters, each corresponding to a different medium.
Chapter 1 – From November 20th to December 17th
PERFORMATIVE BOOK
Audience members that purchase a ticket during this period will receive the first chapter of this performative event in book format.
Chapter 2 – January 4th to 9th between 2PM and 10PM at TBA
ONE-TO-ONE MEETINGS
In this chapter, audience members that have already purchased tickets will be invited by telephone for an individual meeting with the performers.
Duration: 30 min.
Chapter 3 – January 18th to 22nd 7:30 pm, in the Main Room of the TBA
The third chapter happens on stage in the Main Auditorium of TBA.
Duration: 65 min.(approx.)
Chapter 4 – From January 18th
