Medium, czy gadżet? : wideo w teatrze

A transcription of the Post-media Theater discussion organized by the Bunkier Sztuki Club and Didaskalia magazine (5.12.2011). The conversation with the artists accompanied by video projections for theater performances raised a range of issues tied to the presence of new theater technologies. The artists debated whether the use of media more often served to create illusions or to make experiments, and spoke of technologies and ways of using them, trying to isolate the impact a camera has on an actor’s work. When it came to conversations on their own work in the theater and the division of competencies among the artists creating a play, the most important thread of the conversation was theater as an institution, and the distance that separates theory from everyday stage practice.
