Open Call

What is the object of performance when the virtual and the real combine? How do we make something together while each one controls his own channel? We seek to find players live online to perform a small scene from a newly composed text. The director will be present via an internet video channel from NYC. He will direct the actor in a small set of performative methods to engage chat roulette people in the making of a scene.

Concept and Direction Andrew Fremont-Smith and Andreas Bachmair
Text from daily melodramas, Jean Genet, and with original text by AFS & AB.
Assistant Johanna Biesewig

Research Performances Spring 2011 Hetveem Theater, Amsterdam

Chatroulette is an online live video conversation space where people can randomly meet others. Each person can at will switch to another person, but each does not know nor can anticipate who will be the next person they meet.
