Hamilton artist debuts a trio of experimental Instagram plays

When you picture going to seeing a play, a universal image likely comes to mind: booking tickets and booking off your evening, rushing down to a theatre in Hamilton a little too last minute, paying a little too much for parking, then sitting in a darkened room with an audience to take in a transporting live experience.

But what if a play doesn’t have to be anything like that? Local writer and artist Camille Intson is trying to bend the rules with a trilogy of digital plays that will be premiering exclusively on Instagram.

On Friday November 1st, three show-specific Instagram accounts will each be debuting three original digital plays, viewable anywhere in the world, that will offer participants a totally unique theatre experience from the comfort of their phone screens.

Intson, who recently premiered her Best of Fringe-winning play We All Got Lost at the Westdale Theatre for the Hamilton Fringe Festival, is attempting the project as a fascinatingly form-bending artistic experiment; one that also investigates the role of theatre as an art form in the social media age.

The three digital plays, titled β€˜Farewell, Estonia,’ β€˜Patchface,’ and β€˜Hello Internet Audience,’ are all available for pre-follow on Instagram in advance of the official launch. The experiment is totally free, so if your interest is piqued, give those accounts a follow and immerse yourself in a different kind of theatre experience.

The Instagram Plays, created by Camille Intson and Pantheon Projects, premiere worldwide on Friday November 1st.
