Never was a story of more tweets

Here is a video that a few English girls posted on Youtube a few days ago. Normal video for the girl of the 94th year of birth: soft toys, perfume, hearts, cute angel, portrait of the deceased mother ...







Why all this can be interesting, what does Twitter have to do with it and why do you need to watch it at all?

Well, for example, because I (and you, most likely, also) know that in the next five weeks, the whole life of this girl, which has not really begun, will turn upside down and end all with death.



She herself, of course, does not yet guess about this, but simply writes to Twitter .



Why am I (and you!) Aware of her future?



It's very simple: the girl's name is Juliet Capulet and she is part of a new art direction, which, probably, can be called "network performance".

One of the most famous theater companies in England (and indeed in the world) - the Royal Shakespeare Company has just begun a demonstration of its project Such a Tweet Sorrow .



This will be a rather arbitrary transposition of the tragedy of Shakespeare performed by six heroes (besides the main characters, there is, of course, Tybalt, Mercutio and the hapless chemist-intriguer Lorenzo).



The scenario and the main plot moves and characters of the characters, of course, are predetermined, but the messages themselves are acting improvisations and generally have a rather weak connection with the original.



What is worth, for example, the recognition of a drunken Mercutio: “Busty nymph, you upset me - well, I'll go on a date with my right hand (well or left)” he (apparently after the “date”) invites friends to get together and watch Rocky movies all night long.



Lorenzo quotes Stalin and complains about social and interpersonal problems (for example, “two equally respected families”)



It seems to me that in the near future more and more such projects will appear (let us remember at least the diary of Nicholas II ), and as the fame of the basic work decreases, it will become more and more difficult for viewers to understand where reality goes into artwork and vice versa.



How was Cortazar in “The Continuity of Parks”?
