AB - This paper is to examine a digital performance aesthetics and style, working with digital performance Syntasia and Ecstatic Self. Digital performance is defined by computer digital technologies playing a prominent part in theatrical contents and forms beyond fulfilling a minor function of stage expression. It is the concept of 'virtuality' that this article puts an emphasis on to discuss a digital performance aesthetics. The origin of an English word 'virtuality' derives from Latin word 'virtus' that means 'powers' or 'being in powers'. Therefore, the term 'virtual' refers to an aspect of fictive, non-being but potential reality which will develop into existence. As a result, this paper will study how virtuality is constructed in terms of bodies, spaces, times, and thematics when performing Syntasia and Ecstatic Self. I think these analytic study about virtuality will provide useful grounds for examining a digital performance aesthetics and style of Syntasia and Ecstatic Self. To conclude, in spite of aesthetic limits, the fruition of Syntasia and Ecstatic Self' theatrical innovation needs to be approved. Desire to virtualize realistic things in Syntasia and Ecstatic Self accomplishes the change of theatrical perspectives, from organizing, privileging, foundational, rule-based, clear, proscenium arch's, modern stage to double, interactive, exchangeable, cycling, network's, different, other, unstable, postmodern stage. The sameness of being on stage always entirely disintegrates through sacrifice ritual like Korean Kut, Greek Dionysia. The origin of mask that is oneness and manyness at the same time comes from these sacrificial body parts which is decomposing, uncertain, transformational. So, we can speak highly of 'the events of becoming otherness' in virtual theater aesthetics of Syntasia and Ecstatic Self.
