with interactive technologies where there is a real, hopefully deep, link
between the performer and the environment, and an exquisitely controlled
choreography/video/lighting scenario. If I didn't believe that, I may as

for one moment that one is better than the other, just that, at best, these
two things are fundamentally different in what they are setting out to do.
