In the era of Post-Covid, there have been many attempts to film performances that have been expanded to complement offline performances due to advances in digital technology. Beyond that, Metaverse and VR technologies began to be incorporated as experiments continued to overcome the physical limitations of the performance and connect with audiences around the world.
Performances began to become more connected with technology to break down the fourth wall, evolving into virtual experiences and virtualizing the stage and actors. We will meet leading VR immersive theater or performance creators that have become a hot topic at global festivals such as Sundance, Venice, and SXSW. They tried to change production, distribution that utilize virtual social platforms, and expanded audiences as they move from offline to virtual. It views new changes to connect with audiences in a new era, such as technology convergence as a creation, evolution of participation, interaction where the distinction between actors and audiences disappears, and liveness.
