This project investigates how virtual and extended reality (XR) performances can challenge traditional ideas of identity and collaboration. Instead of one performer controlling one avatar, what if one performer controlled many avatars? What if multiple people - performers and even the audience - worked together to control a single virtual character? These scenarios highlight both positive possibilities (like creative collaboration or expressing complex identities) and potential negative experiences (like losing a sense of self or agency), the tension between these offers great artistic potential. The research also blurs the line between performers and audiences, making the public active participants in the experience.
