Theatrics of Interspace (TOIS) is a practice-based inquiry into how immersive technologies can cultivate shared, reflexive, and equitable modes of spatial engagement. It is curious about the gap between bodies, sensors, and the environment and explores these interstitial spaces as both catalyst and conceptual metaphor that shape relationships among the entities of the space. Inspired by the immersive theatre production Sleep No More, the project was staged inside the historic Lehár Theatre in Bad Ischl, Austria, a culturally significant yet politically contested building on the brink of demolition or redevelopment. TOIS transformed this dormant theatre into a hybrid sensorium that redistributed agency among participants, architectural matter, and computational systems, reopening the question of what a theatre can be, and whom it can serve, in a technologically mediated future.
