Natasha Tsakos created the play named Up Wake in this play she doesn’t speak or interact with any other actors instead she created a multimedia based experience, and her movements synchronized with the screens, the lights, etc. create a 3D effect, I really think is a shame I didn’t know about this play earlier because I really would have liked to be able to experience it.
In the video she explains how theater makes everyone come together and I think it’s admirable the way she pushed her limits and her self to make every single person on the audience have the same emotions and feelings and really come together with this unique method. She also pointed how technology is our instrument and I think she was able to use it in a very intelligent and creative way in order to accomplish what she did, to make her play so simple yet remarkable in every good way is no easy task in this era were everybody is trying to have the latest and the greatest.
Finally I liked how she ends the speech saying that we are on era were communication, connection and creative collaboration is possible and invites us to revolutionize the way we think, I think in this very simple words she explained all the essence of the play and made me want to know more about it.

I am glad to see you appreciated the work. Very good review, try to include at least pictures to enrich the appearance of your entries, you do have links however they look a little dry without any images.
