To Be Continued is a combination of various digital media and technology, immersing you in what time is, how we experience time and how digitalisation affects that experience. The installation grew out of a fascination with the growing influence of technology on the everyday and acts as a kind of digital psychedelic.  

Location Zuiderpark/Tent Paars
Running time 30 min.
Genre Wereld en wij, In het festivalhart

What is your sense of time when you scroll on social media? How does our ever-present access to the internet affect our patience? Now that we seem to be reachable always and everywhere, how connected are we really? 

To Be Continued by Theatre Collective Nineties is an audiovisual installation that puts a magnifying glass on today's digital culture and technology, and how it affects how we deal with time. It is inspired by the world of interfaces, apps and preloaders. The visual elements are used to influence the visitor's perception of time and the animations create an immersion in virtual reality. To Be Continued theatrically examines our experience of time as a digital performance, trying to get just a little bit more grip on the intangible digitisation and time.  

It is important to download the app Telegram before the performance to experience the installation in full. It is required to experience the prologue.  

For adults, but also fun for children aged 14 and over.  

 

To Be Continued by Nineties uses stroboscopic lights, smoke and is performed in English. 

  

Theatre group Nineties constantly searches for new theatre forms that reflect on our current zeitgeist. They gather new perspectives on the ever-moving world and its challenges. Playing with elements of visual art, digital media, literature, music and performance, their performances are an attempt to make the present time a little less intangible.
