All over the world there are people wanting to contact us - because they are curious about us, want to sell us something or need our help. How do we distinguish between general interest and the hidden agenda? In the experiential performance Life Streaming, the spectators are directly connected to the other side of the world.
Watch a video from director Dries Verhoeven introducing the project to a London audience.
In her review of Life Streaming for The Independent, Holly Williams writes: "When is theatre not theatre? When you sit at a computer, when the
“performance” is mostly a typed conversation, when the “actor” is on
the other side of the world?
Director Dries Verhoeven's work is termed “experiential theatre” in his native Netherlands, and is
often closer to art installation or an interactive experiment than
traditional stagecraft."
Last weekend I had the pleasure of 'experiencing' this piece on a festival in 's Hertogenbosch - simply unforgettable.
