“I Hate Helen” is not theatre! But surely it is something that announces the art form of future decades. I HATE HELEN” is a performance that uses new media means, musical mixes, animation, projections, and photography.
“I HATE HELEN” is not theatre or better yet it is not just theatre. It is a movie, it is Cartoon Network, photography, music, it transpires urban legends (snuff is a mere example), it is underground and anti-underground at the same time and it is a savory parody. All these elements taken aside are not prevailing, yet taken
as a whole, the actors’ performance added, are a novelty and I must say quite felicitous. It is a multimedia blend, chaos ultimately well-ordered by the media discourse parody glue. It is a cliche story about love and delusion transposed by new media means filtered through projections and processed through the imaginary.
