« Let´s create a beautiful mess ! »
What kind of narrative structures can be found in cyberspace? From Google Docs with <3 is a digital Cadavre Exquis. A Google Document becomes the central meeting point for a group of people from different time-spaces to write and stage a theatre play. A protocol frames the process whereby everything remains discussable, changeable and fluid.
After one week of collaborative writing, the play was performed for the first time as The Saturday Night Live Online Show using the live stream service OBS, live Skype calls, Youtube and other media to interpret the text, videos and images put together by the co-creators. The Saturday Night Live Online Show is to be seen as a spontaneously staged snapshot within the process of writing and rehearsals, which in itself was a public event. As a final iteration, a short movie evolved from the recordings of the performance, titled « a shortcut to THE SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE ONLINE SHOW ».
