But where does the audience live in this, the next iteration of documenting theater?
Isn’t this just poor film - and not theater? Hasn’t this road been explored. I can’t help but think of Dogville.
Theater is the unique artform that is rebuilt upon every viewing for a specific audience. “It’s a good audience tonight” is an unthinkable utterance from a painter, novelist, sculptor, etc. Our work is created in front of the audience now, always now. Doesn’t this remove one of the critical definitions of theater?
