Abstract:
Examining the contemporary challenges of "writing" or composing for the digital stage and new forms of real-time programmable or augmented multimedia theater, the authors delve into some theoretical concerns that are characteristic of such compositional practices—discussing notions of interactivity, wearable space, participatory design, postdramatic textuality and choreography, bilinguality and translation, and political content— before using their new play, Puntos de Fuga (Vanishing Points), as a case study. The essay contextualizes the production aesthetic used for Puntos de Fuga, referring amongst others to the Wooster Group's "dancing with technology," and proceeds to delineate the performer techniques and rehearsal methods used in composing an integrated digital performance and multimediated mise en scène closely and passionately dedicated to the poetic testimony of harsh political/economic realities at the US-Mexican border.
