Miss Mobile

This one is really for my files, I love to collect reviews on performances which involve audience participation and mobile phones.

networked_performance reports on a performance that has been going on for some time (since 2003), Miss Mobile, from Slovenian director and solo artist, Emil Hrvatin.

"It's a reflection on public/private relations by one Slovene performance artist and 40 audience members and their cell phones". The audience was asked to: bring a cell phone if you have one! The artist may ask you to call your friends and allow him to converse.

Miss Mobile has been performed in Gent, New York, Ljubljana, Novi Sad, Paris and Rijeka. Before Boston it will be performed in Rome and Zagreb; after Boston in Los Angeles, Riverside and Santa Ana.
