Adopting an innovative and theoretical approach, Greek Tragedy and
the Digital is an original study of the encounter between Greek
tragedy and digital media in contemporary performance. It
challenges Greek tragedy conventions through the contemporary
arsenal of sound masks, avatars, live code poetry, new media art
and digital cognitive experimentations. These technological
innovations in performances of Greek tragedy shed new light on
contemporary transformations and adaptations of classical myths,
while raising emerging questions about how augmented reality works
within interactive and immersive environments. Drawing on
cutting-edge productions and theoretical debates on performance and
the digital, this collection considers issues including
performativity, liveness, immersion, intermediality, aesthetics,
technological fragmentation, conventions of the chorus, theatre as
hypermedia and reception theory in relation to Greek tragedy. Case
studies include Kzryztof Warlikowski, Jan Fabre, Romeo Castellucci,
Katie Mitchell, Georges Lavaudant, The Wooster Group, Labex
Arts-H2H, Akram Khan, Urland & Crew, Medea Electronique, Robert
Wilson, Klaus Obermaier, Guy Cassiers, Luca di Fusco, Ivo Van Hove,
Avra Sidiropoulou and Jay Scheib. This is an incisive,
interdisciplinary study that serves as a practice model for
conceptualizing the ways in which Greek tragedy encounters digital
culture in contemporary performance.
