The expansion of digital culture and the densification of the technocultural context in the last decades have brought the performing arts into confrontation with other languages, aesthetics, political relations and artists. Without ‘cookies’ or ‘plugins’, this set of texts proposes an open reflection on the topic, freely navigating through themes (representations of the self, creation of fictions, composition of dramaturgies, interactivity, uses of cyberspace) and mapping paths, perceptions and practices existing in the multiple relations between performing arts and digital culture.

Thus, an event was created where a book with the same name was launched, as well as conversations and performances that reflected in a broad and plural way on the theme.

You can purchase the book through SNOB bookstores.
