As theatre’s around the country have turned out their lights and closed their doors for the safety of their audiences over the COVID pandemic, the National Arts Festival has not hesitated to find an online and digital solution to this year’s Festival.
‘Virtual Black Out: Experiments in the Future of Form’ takes a bold step into digital “space” making for virtual performance. Starting with experienced scenographers and digital arts in a collaboration to rethink space, set, light, location and time - where form leads the spark for new digital theatre making.
POPArt and Fakugesi Festival come together to bring into collaboration a stellar group of writers, directors, actors, scenographers and digital artists from Southern African and beyond to produce five short unique and diverse experiments in the future of form.
