The two plays, End of Books and Bastard of Allegory, both dealt with aesthetic demands of our mediatized landscapes, where both attention span, criticality and media literacy is in rapid decline.
The theatre, a site where full attention from the audience can still be expected via its historical and cultural role and protocol, creates apparent frictions with a visual culture that relies on instant gratification.
EoB and BoA both use the immanent tension between the theatre, today understood as a slow art form, and the age of screens, rapid and totally memefied, as its modus operandi to create absurd, satirical settings where aesthetic expectations clinch against each other and gives way for stories about the way we (do not) listen, (do not) look and (do not) feel.
