Premier Stratagème & Omnibus
13 May, Zagreb (HR)
Duration: 65 minutes
SCREENAGERS Vol. 2 is an interactive, DIY one-woman musical that presents an intimate collection of songs inspired by our online lives. Blending concert, dance theater, stand-up comedy, TED talk, and VJing, the performance examines how the Internet has shaped our experiences and collective imagination.
Using her online activities - clicks, messages, status updates, and browser history - as material for her songs, the performer captures the joys and complexities of our digital existence. Audiences engage through their smartphones, collaboratively writing lyrics, playing games, and appearing on stage as memes and avatars.
This performance highlights how songs bridge generational gaps, reflecting on our chaotic digital age and its impact on our psyche. It was also selected for the main artistic program of the ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering in Serbia in 2023.
