After all, as Cechov used to say...
"We need new forms of expression. We need new forms, and if we can't have them we had better have nothing."
Therefore: may the curtains open to this new quest! How will the theatre of the future be? Will it still be called "theatre"? Or will it be a new genre, capable of merging writing, music, dance, figurative arts, cinema, but also science, technology, physical, augmented and virtual realities?
New Forms
New technologies, particularly the Web, are often used as a marketing resource to promote personal activities, but rarely they serve as a medium for artistic creation.
Scenography and 3D virtual theatrical architectures, live streaming public, capable of influencing the actor in front of them with its presence and its reactions, crowdsourcing, Wiki technology and 2.0 Web applied to the writing process and to direction, seriality applied to the theatrical narration… All these are only few of the methods which we could use in search for innovative forms of a renewed level of interaction between the actor and the public.
