“…Being a performer and a spectator implies a kind of double consciousness, since both are aware that they are there for each other, the one presenting or staging him-or herself while the other is looking on. I consider the aesthetic turn in the arts as the arts' answer to the performative turn in contemporary culture and society at large, as I mentioned in one of my papers in 2018 (Kattenbelt 2018), in particular is -as far as this turn occurs as a mediatization or instrumentalization of culture and society -for the sake of efficiency in the case of management, effectiveness in the case of technology, and efficacy in the case of cultural performances (with reference to Lyotard 1979 andMcKenzie 2001).…”

author and editor of several books and chapters related to the concept of intermediality, but lately you also started to develop a special VR installation, Hamlet Encounters, together with Eric Joris and other professionals. Can you tell me a bit more about it and its context? The VR installation Hamlet Encounters is part of a larger project in which we try to find out what we can do with new technologies in live performances. In the case of Hamlet Encounters we are experimenting with virtual reality and motion capture. We try to combine these technologies, wondering what we can do with these and what these can do with us. In our practice as research project we primarily focus on the performative aspects of the media we use: how do media redefine our sense, play in the sense of affecting our senses, how can we make media also playful in the way we use them for building worlds, for staging, for self-referencing and self-reflecting? 1 This interview was made within the framework of the Exploratory Research Project Rethinking Intermediality in Contemporary Cinema: Changing Forms of In-Betweenness, PN-III-ID-PCE-2016-0418, funded by a grant of the UEFISCDI (Executive Unit for Financing Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation), Romania.

Journalism's various crises have been well-documented, such as the decline in its credibility and active role in the democratic process, but constructive ideas to address them are far and few between. In an age of confused news literacy, this article presents evidence to show how face-to-face journalism might be successful in helping to re-establish its status, authority and truth-telling role in society. It reviews past and present relationships between journalism and theatre and uses them as a springboard to introduce the concept of 'news on stage.' It makes historical connections between early formats of live news such as the town crier, through revolutionary theatre to today's experiments in event journalism around the world. Using qualitative, empirical data from interviews and two case studies, the FT Weekend Festival and the Byline Festival, it examines whether and how such events offer ways of strengthening the relationship between news, public and performance, rebuilding communities of readers and/or activists. It configures a version of Habermas's public space/sphere as a new locus for this kind of open journalism, performed to the public. The author concludes that journalism can benefit from such events and proposes practical models for presenting 'news on stage' in the future.
