Rehearsed and coerced: Creating counter indications

Jeff McMahon

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

The experience of audiences at performative events is too often devoid of stakes. Counter Indications examined how a theatrical installation can use media and spatial design to bring a passive audience into the decision-making process, and past the comfortable catharsis of traditional theatre to experience some of the implications of government-sanctioned interrogation and torture.
