"Through the encounter between Greek tragedy and digital media in contemporary performance, this study explores the ways traditional notions and conventions of Greek tragedy, such as the community, the city, the hubris and the mask, have been re-appropriated and challenged through the use of technology in digital and virtual reality theatre.
