The Nether

 

The Nether is a most disturbing production, that subject the most uncomfortable subject that audiences might not watch, or pounder to. The piece of theatre gave us questions to think about and ideas about the virtual world will be. It has postmodern characteristic in the way the play has been shown and made.

 The Nether is a virtual world where people live and spend time, there lives, the beauty of this technology that it is real enough that you can smell, touch and taste like you do in the real world. Games such as Minecraft and the Sim has a similar feel to this show, however doesn’t come close like the Nether, this virtual world is so addictive that people abandon real world a live in the two machines.

This writer by an American writer Jennifer Haley and was directed by the Headland’s Jeremy Herrin done a phenomenal job of mixing two dimensions.  The play is set in America in the future, where a female defective Morris is investigating a man named Sims about his virtual called the Hideaway. The avatar called himself Papa has created a Victorian manor house with where there already four children have been murdered, that lives there. The children themselves are avatars adults who have been plugged in to the visual world.

 The intricate design of the Victorian house decoration this was done by the designer Es Devlin, which you can say is postmodernisms by mimicking the past design, recycling their print and making that to be you identity, which Sim did in the realm of the Nether.

 As Morris investigate and enters in the Sim realm thought and introduce to a beautiful girl for their pay as a guest, after the have sex with her they will inviting slay her with an axe, although they can come back to life after they have being killed.

The Nether as pure and as beautiful it can be it pounder into a dark nature, who is to say that killing in the virtual world is wrong? Have a given law and rules in the virtual world, that technically doing whatever you please your liking.

Unable to understand the difference suggest goes into the subject of hyper reality. Like Sims he prefers being in a virtual world to forget about the curse that was put among him through his lifestyle as he previously desire to have sex another little girl in the real world he doesn’t necessary have a cure for his problem and excepting that there isn’t a cure, most postmodernist reject the idea of purity, isn’t necessary to deal with your problem. The Nether gave him the chance to freely express the burden that was inside him.
