Chronic Insanity announce Puncture the Screen 2023

Nottingham-based theatre company Chronic Insanity has announced the return of Puncture the Screen , a data driven arts and performance festival that will be taking place both online and in-person this year from 20 November to 17 December. Consisting of performance, workshops, and educational opportunities for creatives and audiences alike, the festival aims to showcase the full innovative strength of digital art and performance, while also highlighting its accessibility, sustainability, inclusivity and affordability. The three central commissions include an exploration of the privatisation of medical data, a cook-along that uses speech recognition technology to allow audiences to input into the experience, and a storytelling show where the performers appear as holograms in the audience’s own environment. Now in its third year, Puncture the Screen ’s performances and events will be available online for the full run of the festival, including digital versions of the in-person events, costing just £10 for full access.
