ROODKAPJE

Digital utopian performance. Are they serious are joking? Is it critical, what is a placebo? Analog/ digital. Immanence/transcendence. Are they correct? Is it new? Does it have to be true for it to be good art? What does it take to keep it from being corny? Commitment. 

At end, compared to the train performance, who stayed in character the most? What if it really was a cult and they didn't bow as artists? What if the train woman was really a street person?
