Short Paper: Short Paper 4: Building a New Culture

Hypertext are proposed to be adopted in theatre as the "cultural" alternative to the "physical" means of interaction such as multivision or tridimensional effects. A particular class of hypertexts, oriented to multimedial shows on the cultural heritage of some peoples, has been designed and experimented in several performances. Hypertexts enrich and are enriched from the performance of the actors and musicians, themselves constituting, in this ways, a means of preservation of the cultural heritage of peoples.
