Alice (Experiments) in Wonderland

[Gerd Hauck (Waterloo)]

Theatre Goes Long Distance: Alice (Experiments) in Wonderland

A multi-point, telematic performance for children and adults

Theatre of the Arts, University of Waterloo

 

Lewis Carroll's ageless fantasia receives an electronic overhaul in which virtual characters interact with live ones, leaping on and off screen, and from one venue to another with lightning speed. Created in partnership with Bradley University in Illinois and the University of Central Florida, this fully mediatized, digital-age recreation of Alice in Wonderland will, for the first time in theatre history, have live performers and audiences at three locations interact in the same production, even though they are separated by thousands of miles. Creative use of the latest innovations in digital transfer and distribution technologies allows audiences at three locations to experience Alice’s encounters with The White Rabbit, Humpty Dumpty, The Queen of Hearts, and Jabberwock, both in the fantastical world of the theatre and the ‘real’ world of virtual realty. 



Alice (Experiments) in Wonderland is designed for both young and adult audiences.
