Israel is currently in Mannheim working on a avant-garde theater project called ME DEA EX_, which mixes VR with the actual performance. The concept is Neora‘s (obviously), and Nimrod Kerrett (twice as many r’s and t’s than his brother…) is also involved. Looks nice (but clearly VR is still an immature technology). Israel is speculating about the possible roleplaying applications.
I just experienced a run of the play, with K. giving the avatar audience guidance. I think the confusion of the VR experience was more interesting than the play’s content. The computer-generated chorus’ singing was haunting (best performance?) but monotonous.
Oddly, my girlfriend interviewed Heiner Muller (who’se work – Landscape with Argonauts, Medea Texts – seems to be what this production/festival is referencing), the year before he died.
