SYNOPSIS

Performing arts often rely on the exploration of virtual environments as a fictional proposition. The technological advances of the last decades, in particular the advent of the internet and the emergence of the first browsers in the 1990s, have caused transformations in all societal domains. So, performing arts – and culture in general – have also been evolving within this changing system. In this techno-cultural context, performing arts are confronted with new languages, aesthetics, political relations and artists.

In this event without ‘cookies’ and ‘plugins’, we propose an open and joint reflection on the topic, freely ‘surfing’ through a set of themes: perceptions, modes of fiction, composition and dramaturgy, interactivity, screens, online performances, among others.

The invitation is done: join us!
