Official Description Follows
Inspired by questions of confinement and virtual connectivity, The Attendants 2020 is a re-imagining of the cutting-edge interactive performance presented at Brookfield Place in 2011, during which the public communicated with performers through text messages and tweets.
Our co-founders have reimagined the performance in response to the world’s new normal, which relies on technology more than ever to communicate and connect with others. For the 2020 iteration, viewers will be able to influence the piece by texting messages to the performers via their phones. The performers can only respond with their bodies, each streaming in from the safety of their own homes.
The plexiglas cube from 2011 has been replaced by the 2-D rectangular screens we’ve all become so familiar with and reliant on. And the concept of waiting — so vital to the original piece — has taken on a whole new meaning.
