Conclusion: Political Cyberformance. Past or Future?

Abstract

The conclusion summarizes the research findings determined through the practice-based methodologies of the Etheatre Project, not only presenting answers to questions Papagiannouli raises at the start of this book but also raising questions that need further investigation to reveal the future of cyberformance. Political cyberformance, by allowing the democratic interaction and conflictual participation of the audience in the formation and realization of a theatrical performance, forms political spaces through performance on the cyberstage. This is important for the presence of theatre in cyberspace because it considers how audiences are presented within new dialectical performance environments and measures the impact of these interactive relationships with regard to the political response of spectators in real time during a performance.
