Oudeis Performance

[Carrie Loffree]

CyberTheatre, anyone?

Here's an interesting message about an internet theatre project that I
received through another list.

- Carrie Loffree -

P.S.  If anyone else out there is interested in this sort of thing, I would
really like to hear from you!  E-mail me directly at carrie at dsuper.net, so
as not to overload the list.

>THE TITLE:

>Among Immortals: Oudeis, an Internet Odyssey
>
>A BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
>
>On June 26th 1997, The Sala Terrena of Palais Liechtenstein will become
>the hall of Olympian Zeus, a place of joyous festivity surrounded by the
>oceanic waves of the Internet.  On this occasion, the world-wide oudeis
>team will gather together in virtual space for the creation of a global
>theatrical production of part of Homer's Odyssey.  Using the medium of the
>Internet, translations of Homer's words in German will be sent into
>virtual space and come back as a multilingual translation framed by
>original musical compositions as the story of Odysseus, his wanderings,
>his companions and his opponents are created and presented.  During the
>course of the evening, the audience will be invited to participate and
>influence this act of collaborative creation that will also serve to introduce
>Argentinean composer Santiago Pereson, Austrian costume designer Ulli Noe,
>American playwright L.H. Grant, and members of the world-wide team
>(including Jim Terral from B.C., Dan Zellner from Chicago, Georg Leyrer
>from Vienna, and Andrew Garton from Melbourne) in a performance conceived
>by L.H. Grant and Monika Wunderer.
>
>For those attending via ATHEMOO, telnet to ATHEMOO a half hour or so
>before the performance begins.  @go oudeis to meet members of the team.
>At the time of the performance, we will go to the Schweller Theatre for a
>mirror event of the live performance in Vienna.  I recommend that you
>simultaneously connect to the website, as you will be directed there for a
>portion of the event.  Following the performance, we will return to the
>oudeis ship for a discussion.
