Shakespeare, Spectatorship, and the Technologies of Performance delves into the profound impact of rapid advancements in performance technologies on the modes of spectatorship in early modern drama. It makes a compelling argument that seemingly disparate developments, such as the revival of early modern architectural and lighting technologies, digital performance technologies, and the hybrid medium of theatre broadcast, are interconnected on a fundamental level. The way audiences engage with performances is not solely shaped by the specific characteristics of these technologies but also deeply rooted in the historical contexts of early modern performance environments.
Aebischer's examples span a wide range, encompassing the use of candlelight, reimagined early modern architecture, set design, performance capture technologies, digital video, social media, hologram projection, biotechnology, and theatre broadcasts. Through these diverse examples, the book demonstrates how digital and analogue performance technologies alike foster modes of ethical spectatorship, compelling audiences to adopt an ethical stance as they navigate their visual experiences.
This book emphasizes the ethical dimensions of spectatorship, urging audiences to consider their choices regarding how they look, where they look, what medium they choose to observe through, and how they take responsibility for their visual engagement. It prompts us to reflect on the impact of our visual choices on the performances we witness and the broader cultural and societal contexts in which they occur. By exploring the interplay between performance technologies, spectatorship, and ethical considerations, Shakespeare, Spectatorship, and the Technologies of Performance offers valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of theatrical experience in the early modern era.
