Festival HOMO ALIBI
3.0 is an annual event organised by the non-profit and non-governmental
organisation New Theatre Institute of Latvia. It was created 2000 as
a link between the bigger festivals of contemporary theatre HOMO NOVUS'99
and HOMO NOVUS`01 with an aim to maintain the contact to the audience
and to introduce to experimental directions in performing arts.
The particular
theme of the third festival edition HOMO ALIBI 3.0 is the new forms
and approaches in making theatre based on the impact of the technologies
on contemporary society and new technical possibilities in theatre.
Besides traditional media of theatre - work of actor, sound, light,
static set design - new media like screening, projecting, digital sound
and video technique are nowadays often involved in a performance. These
developments are poorly presented in Latvia. Festival would like to
change the prejudices that technological wonders often substitute the
content of the performance. It aims to prove that technological media
can play equivalent role like the means of traditional theatre serving
the common idea of the performance. Different media expand and merge
the boundaries between theatre and other arts (e.g. cinema, visual and
media arts), generate new artistic forms that better respond the needs
of young audiences.
