Congress Kick off: ‘Camillo 2.0: Technology, Memory, Experience’
Even before the Festival aan de Werf is over, the department of Theatre Studies from the Utrecht University and Festival a/d Werf will be looking forward to their joint initiative for next year. From 25 – 29 May 2011, Camillo 2.0: Technology, Memory, Experience will take place. An international conference set up by Performance Studies international (PSi) about the relationship between technology and the ways in which we remember and experience things. This four‐day event will bring together academic study and art in a varied programme consisting of lectures, presentations of topical researches, performances, discussions, and more. Artists, scholars, students, and others with an interest in this conference and the opportunity to make an active contribution, are more than welcome to attend the official kick‐off. After a short introduction on the aim and set‐up of the conference, Marin Blazevic (University of Zagreb) and Frederik LeRoy (University of Ghent), in line with the theme of Camillo 2.0, will be giving two short lectures on drama, memory, and re‐enactment as a special form of
‘doing history’. Furthermore, Rabih Mroué will be our guest (subject to his availability). In his work, the interaction between technology, memory, and experience plays an important role. The kick‐off will be informal in
nature and will offer plenty of opportunity for any questions.
Camillo 2.0: Technology, Memory, Experience was initiated by the department of Theatre Studies (Utrecht University) and Festival a/d Werf, with the Faculty of Theatre at the Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU).
