In Avatar, Freya Olafson uses contemporary dance paired with the ambiguities of virtual social networks to navigate the digitally altered notions of exhibitionism, orientation, and identity. You Are Very Star by The Electric Company is a virtual site-specific treasure hunt between the height of the Space Race and the dawn of new humanity.

And Alien Contagion: Rise of the Zombie Syndrome by Andy Thompson, Tyler Clarke, and Finn Ghosh-Luedke is an immersive theatrical adventure in which audience members need to work together to save the world and conquer the undead."--Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
