Description

It is 2004. Phaedra is afflicted with longing, filtered through the digital fragmentation of Web 2.0. Her beloved Hippolytus, her stepson, lives on a DSL modem, in a trippy iTunes visualization, in the sounds between the sounds of AOL Instant Messenger.

This Phaedra arrives to herself via desk-mount webcam.

Hippolytus Defragged – a verbal twist on Euripides’ “Hippolytus Veiled” – is a new-media piece of ancient Greek theatre that marries the aggressive presence, sincerity and physicality of full-scale Greek verse with disorienting digital art. The result is an escalating dissociation which corrupts both Phaedra and everything around her – but also introduces her to a version of herself no longer shackled by shame.
