Trailor
4 actors in a rehearsal room facing a list of roles to be casted. With the help of the audience and their smartphones, the actors have to fill these roles. Unsurprisingly, the role of ‘the woman’ will stay vacant, thus revealing and questioning the public about the perceptions of this character.
This supposed casting, constantly interrupted by the ‘digital life’ of the actors themselves, invites the audience to reflect on contemporary concepts of identity and the influence of the ever growing acces to internet and the use of social media. What is their impact on our perspectives and perceptions of the world, on daily life, ou our own image?
The spectators will become part of the digital experimentations during the play, experiencing themselves the unifying and dividing effects of social media.
Will everyone be eligible to the same information at the same time and will their participation via smartphone will really be as powerful as it seems?
