Abstract

This chapter expands the notion of digitally mediated experience and extended reality by closely examining the participatory theatre experience Binaural Dinner Date (2017) by its authors ZU-UK. Binaural Dinner Date draws on the affordances of real-time binaural audio mixing, theatre practice and elements of everyday life to build a pervasive and post-immersive experience that hacks familiar and taken-for-granted rituals, norms and expectations around dating and intimacy. Digital audio operation technologies combined with skilled human performance and participation make possible subtle slippages in banal realities of common social experience, prompting new questions, personal insights and reflections.
