La réalité virtuelle au théâtre
 

Description | Il ne reste que quelques places ! Complet ! Free entry
Thursday November 8 // 18:00 - 19:00 // GDM venue (PITOËFF 2)
 
Although we owe the first mention of the term “virtual reality” to the famous theater director Antonin Artaud in his collection of essays The Theater and Its Double published in 1938, the relationship between virtual reality and theater productions is still just as relevant nowadays. This round table discussion addresses the new storytelling and scenography possibilities that digital media provide for contemporary theater productions.
