Postpostać, awatar na wirtualnej scenie
The Post-Character. An Avatar on the Virtual Stage

Summary/Abstract: This article problematizing theatricality in the context of virtual space which is open to audience participation and commentary is directly tied to the Between the Stage and the Console texts (“Didaskalia” no. 99). Talar recalls Gilles Deleuze’s and Felix Guattari’s concept of a thousand stages, Chris Crawford’s notion of interactive art, and the “Crisis of the Character” in Jean-Pierre Ryngaert’s dictionary, and explores the etymology of the term “avatar.” He also examines practice (the Chartreuse projects, Desktop Theater’s staging of Waiting for Godot, the illusion.com project). At the crossroads between theory and practice, Talar attempts to mark and describe the typical attributes of the post-character.
