Abstract

The work of Brooklyn-based theatre company Fake Friends, always obsessed with screens, the self, and theatrical presence, gained a new following when they adapted their work for livestream during the Covid-19 pandemic. At the same time these adaptations, which transformed the company’s practice from “screens-on-stage” to “staged-for-screen,” reinvigorated debates around absence, presence, and alienation in the Zoom era.
