ABOUT

four cameras, two realities – choose your story

​In this interactive performance film, Joy and Lukas share moments of isolation, doubts, boredom and joy that they experienced during Lockdown. In this early approach they try to find a creative way to deal with this extraordinary situation.

Via laptops and mobile devices, new technologies are finding their way into our homes. Especially during times of the worldwide pandemic and Lockdown they become our tool for communication with the outer world. Reversely, via Zoom and Skype converences or Instagram Stories we increasingly invite people we barely know into the intimicy of our four walls.

Of the eight main events, Rooms from Joy Alpuerto Ritter and Lukas Steltner offered some hope for a new way of performing. Live-streamed with multiple cameras (some of them camera phones, wielded with artistry) in different rooms of the performers’ homes, the work employed audience feedback in the form of polls to determine how the narrative would unfold, a kind of choose your own adventure model that also connected the performers with their audience.
