Possibilities are becoming endless with new technologies applied to the performing arts. We have to rethink our idea of performance, as technology can enhance and expand the empathetic connection between the performer and the audience.

Holograms, interactivity, volumetric video, in real life, or in the metaverse. Will they become the norm? Or will what we know of performing remain the same?

Are new technologies welcomed in this specific art form, and what are the reactions observed?

How will these projects change our perception of performance and thus, of emotions?
