A psychedelic virtual reality performance about the shallows of human desire by three of the most innovative stage artists in European theater.
Theater maker Susanne Kennedy is known for her hyper-realistic, alienating productions on Europe’s major theater stages, with which she has pushed theater into the digital present and initiated a broad discussion about the future of performance. For some time now, she has been working with multidisciplinary artist Markus Selg and on experimental, immersive stage settings. Now, for the first time, the director, who has been invited to the Berlin Theatertreffen several times, is focusing on the synthesis of virtual reality and theater. In cooperation with Selg and Virtual Designer Rodrik Biersteker, she created I AM (VR), a psychedelic self-awareness trip for one spectator at a time about the oldest philosophical questions of mankind: Where do I start, where do I end? What constitutes reality and what is fiction, what is virtual? On a meditative path through a digital version of the cave parable, visually exaggerated spiritual-mythological settings are traversed, and the basic assumptions of human consciousness are questioned. Until the participants are finally ready to face the digital oracle and ask the question of all questions.
