La figura del performer nell'era dell'arte 2.0

Starting from an aesthetic perspective of methodological integration of the concepts of body, perception and technologies in the contemporary theatre scene, this paper will attempt to define the general dramaturgical and aesthetic notion of virtual presence and real absence as an extension of the perception of the performer made by the new technological tools.The new technology produces an enhanced theater, strengthens the quality that is already inherent in this form of art, set design, acting, performance, everything is made more intense. The performer’s virtual body art is both original and copy, it becomes the subject of multiple incarnations, structurally identical but phenomenally different because they belong to a hybrid entity, a body-image in which its being is strictly linked to interactivity
