Abstract

ABSTRACT The peculiar circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic inevitably lessened the possibilities of physical proximity while a multitude of functions and activities were transferred to the digital space, theatre included. As a result, many cultural institutions, theatrical organisations and theatre artists were forced to experiment with theatrical practices that did not involve the element of physical coexistence between audience and performers. This paper attempts to investigate the outcome of a theatrical event that lacks a shared physical space between the performers and the audience, by focusing on five typical examples of such theatrical experimentations in mid-pandemic Greece. The five experimentations are researched under three analytical categories, namely ‘space’, ‘time’ and ‘other space and time’. The main questions addressed are what is new, what is transformed and what is missing when theatrical practices are forced to transfer to the digital world. The focus is on both the performers and the audiences, therefore semi-constructed interviews – with actors, directors and audience members – were held. Finally, conclusion is reached regarding those transfers and the transformative power of the theatrical praxis in physical and digital environments.

戏剧减去物理共存——疫情期间希腊戏剧实验一瞥
摘要新冠肺炎大流行的特殊情况不可避免地减少了物理接近的可能性,同时许多功能和活动被转移到了包括剧院在内的数字空间。因此,许多文化机构、戏剧组织和戏剧艺术家被迫尝试不涉及观众和表演者身体共存元素的戏剧实践。本文试图通过关注疫情中期希腊此类戏剧实验的五个典型例子,来调查表演者和观众之间缺乏共享物理空间的戏剧活动的结果。这五项实验是在三个分析类别下进行研究的,即“空间”、“时间”和“其他空间和时间”。当戏剧实践被迫转移到数字世界时,所要解决的主要问题是什么是新的,什么是改变的,以及什么是缺失的。重点是表演者和观众,因此,对演员、导演和观众进行了半结构化的采访。最后,得出了关于这些转移以及戏剧实践在物理和数字环境中的变革力量的结论。
