| Summary: | Through the encounter between Greek tragedy and digital media in contemporary performance, this study explores the ways traditional notions and conventions of Greek tragedy, such as the community, the city, the hubris and the mask, have been reappropriated and challenged through the use of technology in digital and virtual reality theater. These technological innovations shed light on contemporary adaptions of classical myths, while raising questions about how augmented reality works within interactive and immersive environments. This collection considers issues such as performativity, liveness, immersion, intermediality, the theater as hypermedia and reception theory in relation to Greek tragedy. |
