bug-TV

OÖ. Theater und Orchester GmbH, Landestheater Linz (AT)

How will television as a media format develop from here? Could it be that, in the future, there’ll be no regularly scheduled programming at all anymore, and maybe it will be completely replaced by on-demand streaming services? In cooperation with Landestheater Linz, this TV format will propagate a mix of fakery and truth, where subtle and, in some cases, intentional mistakes demonstrate a very prevalent blunting of the instincts of those who view them. In which formats is verification inherent? At what point do we acknowledge news as true? How must the news be presented for us to put aside our ever-growing skepticism? What portals do we perceive as reputable and responsible? These questions are treated in a blend of acting and festival documentation produced by this interactive project set in the CREATE YOUR WORLD festival village.
