Performing arts often rely on the exploration of virtual environments as a fictional proposition. The technological advances of the last decades, in particular the advent of the internet and the emergence of the first browsers in the 1990s, have caused transformations in all societal domains. So, performing arts – and culture in general – have also been evolving within this changing system. In this technocultural context, performing arts are confronted with new languages, aesthetics, political relations and artists.
In this event without ‘cookies’ and ‘plugins’, we propose an open and joint reflection on the topic, freely ‘surfing’ through a set of themes: perceptions, modes of fiction, composition and dramaturgy, interactivity, screens, online performances, among others.
The invitation is done: join us!

João Estevens is a maker, performer, dramaturg and researcher. Studied Performance Making, Political Science and Visual Studies, being now finishing my PhD in social sciences. His artistic research is very much centred on new dramaturgies and hybridity, combining performing arts and multimedia. As a performance maker, he seeks to develop long-term, open and experimental processes, to expand spectatorship, and to work about topics as the fragility of the human condition, power dynamics, and cyberculture. Founding member of Rabbit Hole, an artistic collective fostering new practices of collaboration in performing arts, visual arts and music.
Rabbit Hole is a cultural association dedicated to the curation, programing, production and creation of artistic events. Since 2011, it dedicates activity to the production and showcasing of film cycles, performance and video art, theatre, concerts, debates, while promoting encounters, parties and raves.
Emerging from the creation of parties that promoted these different and diverse artistic expressions, at the moment, Rabbit Hole works as a production structure for the creation and dissemination of the artistic works of the members and associates of the collective.
Rabbit Hole strives to generate inclusive space for the expression of alternative genders, ideas, languages and aesthetics, promoting transdisciplinary and experimental artistic exchanges. The Rabbit Hole collective is composed by a number of thinkers and artists coming from different areas such as economics, political sciences, curatorship, theatre, performance, dance, media art and cinema.
