TUNING OUT THE TEXT. THREE SHORT POSSIBLE READINGS
TUNING OUT THE TEXT. THREE SHORT POSSIBLE READINGS

Summary/Abstract: This essay attempts to explore a subtle distancing between the dramatic text and its young audiences. Based on a series of group interviews conducted with theatregoing and former theatregoing members of the digital generation, I try to offer three possible readings of their seemingly detached and uninvolved mode of spectating. Without striving to be extremely comprehensive or generally representative, these readings aim to draw attention to some as yet unexplored troubles Romanian mainstream theatre is facing in relation with the ever-changing wave of virtual worlds, fictions and technologies.
