Livestream AR Theater
With Johnny Butler and AnA Collaborations
Feb 27th 2021 @ Gene Frankel Theatre, Soho NY
Inspired by Tristen Tzara's 1924 French Dadaist play Handkerchief of Clouds, AliBi immerses the audience in a love triangle told through fragments of movement, music, and absurdity. When one of the lovers is murdered, a private investigator uses augmented reality, motion capture and voice recognition software to solve the homicide. The suspects try to dance their way out of trouble. A fourth wall collapses under the pressure. No one can be trusted.
Everyone has an alibi. What's Yours?
AliBi is Technodramatists first experiment in livestream theatre. Everyone in the show, from animated characters to virtual tornadoes will be created in real time, merging the magic of special effects with the immediacy of live theatre.
