Rigoletto is a live on-stage podcast reinterpreting the original opera by G. Verdi. The story is told through Gilda’s perspective on domestic psychological abuse. Action is doubled by a sound reactive video with a digital twin of Gilda. The digital layer gives a comment on what’s happening, analyzing its manipulative aspect and giving instructions of how to recognise an abuser.
