INTERROBANG develops new performative and digital formats that engage with contemporary social phenomena and critical issues. Through participatory AI settings and immersive theatrical spaces, audiences can experience, test, and reflect on new forms of scenic communication—whether analog, online, or hybrid. The exploration of theatrical community thus becomes an exploration of present and possible future societal structures and value systems.
