Science & Theatre | To Be A Machine (Version 2.0) | Dead Centre and Mark O`Connell | Deutschlandpremiere

In the organizer's words:

in English with German subtitles

An experience in VR and analog theater reality that lets the audience slip into the story of another person.
In "To Be a Machine (Version 2.0)" , the Dead Centre theater company explores the immersive power of virtual reality (VR). Antonin Artaud originally used the term to describe the nature of theater as an escapist space where we can escape ourselves for an evening. But where do we go when theater is no longer happening? Is a VR headset the new theater? Could this digital VR world at some point feel more real than reality itself? What's wrong with reality? Why do we feel the need to escape it?
"To Be a Machine (Version 2.0)" plays impressively with the means of VR technology
and the expectations we have of reality and theatrical illusion.
