“…performance generally presupposes our conflicted sensory experiences (which will differ by race and age, class and gender) of the technological scene and mobilizes audiovisual phenomenological reality of the stage. The theatre’s social function, therefore, will need to be reconsidered, and its current prediction for myth and science fiction more closely analyzed” (Birringer, 1991, 175).
“…the seductive appearance of endless technological semiosis has certain limits even if it were already possible to assume that the electronic mass media’s havior but indeed creates a new theoretical space “space” (contemporary, simultaneity) in which everything is subject to simulation. […] that would mean the end of the theatre of representation” (Birringer, 1991, 175).
