Channel: HowlRound Theatre Commons
Date: 2022-11-13

Arlekin Players Theatre | (zero-G) Virtual Theater Lab's The Orchard /an auction/ is the latest production from Igor Golyak, Arlekin Players, and (zero-G) Virtual Theater Lab. It is hybrid with two different productions: live in-person and live and interactive online simultaneously.

The Orchard /an auction/, a new adaptation of The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov, features Jessica Hecht and Mikhail Baryshnikov as well as a massive robot, quadruped robot dog, hologauze and projections, video effects, Bird-Dog PTZ cameras, a live online “auction,” and a streamed-in-real-time interactive online experience which can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

Join Igor Golyak and his team of collaborators for a conversation about experimentation; unusual applications of emerging technologies; what they are learning about audience behavior and interactivity; and working with partners across cultures, platforms, and art forms to create live, in-person, hybrid, and virtual theatre. This conversation livestreams on the commons-based, peer produced HowlRound TV network on Saturday 12 November 2022 at 12:45 p.m. PST (San Francisco, UTC -8) / 2:45 p.m. CST (Austin, UTC -6) / 3:45 p.m. EST (Boston, UTC -5) / 20:45 GMT (London, UTC -0) / 21:45 CET (Berlin, UTC +1).
