Audience theory

The music blasted through the door, loud and clear, and I found myself surrounded by people dancing. The only difference was that their whole body was a neon color. They looked like dancing flames of all kinds of color, like blue, green, pink, yellow, orange even.

Michael Crichton, I know when I say the name it most likely brings up images of Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain, and maybe even Westworld, which was the first movie to ever use computer generated images (also known as CGI).

Immersive theater is generally guaranteed to have turned around the customary force relationship between the entertainer and people in general, setting the group of onlookers in control of the creation.
