Virtual Vertigo

Mime theatre

Virtual Vertigo — EN — 60 minutes

Virtual Vertigo is the result of a unique collaboration between Ulrike Quade and the MIME program at the Academy of Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam. Over the course of more than five weeks, students from this program worked intensively with Ulrike and her team on various research questions. During this workshop, Ulrike shared her expertise in puppetry and bringing objects to life, leading to an inspiring presentation for the audience in the theatre.

In Virtual Vertigo, profound philosophical questions are explored, such as: What is the role of our body in a technological era? How do we relate to our physical presence in a world of AI and digital environments? And how do we navigate through our technological surroundings? This presentation offers a fascinating exploration of 21st-century issues and the future of our society.
