A virtual performance aims to adapt and collate Shakespeare’s Macbeth into inter-media forms and ‘multi-sensorial’ experiences
Theatre as an experience demands engagement: mostly visual, at times physical, and depending upon the ideational tendency of the producer, a certain level of emotional immersion. The coronavirus pandemic has brought another dimension to these parameters in the form of virtual interaction, which may appear to be a stopgap to the ongoing performance praxis but is gradually emerging as a subgenre of drama.
Now that the world has phased into pandemic-habitual state, the dramatic activities can be classified into different modes depending upon the available technology and digital convenience and appropriate and relevant means. What may have been initiated as a temporary necessity, has now turned into an innovative form of art.
