How the Work Reflects on the Culture in which the Production Happens
The theatre event production depicts an era of networked culture. It incorporates media technologies that make it relatively more comfortable for people or actors to connect with one another and capture the world and personal developments in real-time. The networked culture influences the actor's stage performance by including potential essential effects and contexts to capture the play's historical background in real-time. There is an opportunity for productions to create opportunities and possibilities for actors to "stage" themselves, potentials that could have been infeasible in the networked culture's absence. In this video, the networked culture integrates computational technologies to make real-time connections and interactions possible, particularly between the actors. For example, despite the actors being in a distinct environment, such technologies influence how the audience imagines interactions or being social (McConachie et al.). Therefore, in this play, culture is presented as a technological byproduct anchored on social interactions, becoming an increasingly widespread societal paradigm, extending into cultural and social conditions.
The play also used networked culture to explore and expand human limits. The theatrical stages had been a magic site where the superhuman and the supernatural could appear within tangible reality. In this play, the production manipulates the theatrical environment elements, for example, movement sensors that trigger the light. The play creates virtual realities or worlds to depict imaginable places from historical perspectives, particularly the "Antigone" era. The Sophocles' "Antigone" dates roughly 2500 years, and therefore, the networked culture worked to capture Ancient Greece's architectural designs and open fields or environments (McConachie et al.). Therefore, the networked culture creates virtual worlds incorporating fictional and naturalistic settings such as Ancient Greek buildings and open areas.
Are there vital or controversial issues that come up?
Various controversies emerge from the play's production and the employment of networked culture. Regarding the networked culture's capacity to create fictional worlds and environments, the actors' attire needs to be computer-generated. However, this is not the case as the actors are seen wearing contemporary clothes. In this way, the production creates conflicts in its integration of ancient Greek architectural designs into modernity. There is conflict in networked culture's failure to capture the world and personal developments in real-time. In other words, both actors and their contexts need to be coherent as per the networked culture. In this play, the production ensures that the players were conscious of ot...
