Framed e-specially for the UpStage, this story can begin with the words: “She had a dream: a chatroom of their own”. It might be continued with acts of taking and giving a voice to different “parts” in/of this cyberformed brainchild: (1) spectators-artists-mothers, (2) spectators, (3) artists, (4) mothers, (5) spectators-artists, (6) mothers-spectators, (7) artists-mothers.Some (at least, – sonorous) kind of similarity in this plurality of cyberformers’ positions, might lead to the questioning: who is who in this play? And maybe, just maybe, this potential parergonomic* activity will make us sur-prized with one truly cyberformance condition – by showing, over and over again, that other (art) frames are possible.* This word is mixture of terms “parergon” and “ergonomic”. The first comes after the Derridian concept of “parergon”: the distinction between the inside and outside of an artwork can never be fully attained. The second points to the shift from the traditional “comfortable” but passive position of spectators of an art performance to the actively participating audience of a cyberformance.Note: the frameworked diagram is borrowed from Silvia Kolbowski’s blog-post Diagrams and Spectators, in “The Work Behind the Artwork”, August 27 2013.

For its third project, Etheatre will collaborate remotely with cyberformers and artists to stage a cyberformance on UpStage for the platform’s 10years birthday celebration.Using the topic of European internal migration as a starting point and the new features of UpStage version 3, Etheatre Project III will be a devised, collaborative, site-specific performance open to audience participation and interaction. The rest will be a surprise!Performers:
