Instead of a future where we’re connected to each other through digital networks and signals, how about reaching a social map founded on solidarity? Moreover, by building a character using the data offered by the play, you will be one of the people who build this network of solidarity... Map to Utopia, a joint project of Istanbul-based Platform Theatre and The Fringe Ensemble from Bonn, places the idea of a future city in which the residents hear each other despite their differences by transforming the audience’s position from passive audience to active participant. The performance creates twenty avatars in four different fictional neighbourhood simulations and invites the audience, who will become neighbours in the play, to build a new character and guide its journey. For three years the project has offered different areas of experience revolving around the relationship between the digital and theatrical. The audience will be able to choose from one of two different viewing experiences. The audience-participants will be able to join the play from their private dwellings through Zoom and a mobile app designed for the play. The audience will share the same digital space with the performers and will experience a whole new way of viewing and participating. Map to Utopia opens up a long-term research area on the theatre of the future as it aims to create a discussion ground on the axis of ‘city of the future’.
