The Covid-19 pandemic plunged many theaters around the world into a temporary crisis and favored the rise of digital theater forms. This article investigates how the reception of theater changes in the digital space and, above all, how audiences as a social dimension of theatrical performances must first be constituted separately there.

These temporal communities are characterized by hybridity and have the potential to enable intense theatrical encounters across spatial boundaries.
