The Jerma Dollhouse is a Theatrical Masterpiece
The Jerma Dollhouse was a fantastic experiment in digital theatre and storytelling, helping to cement Jerma's place as the most inventive streamer on twitch, while pushing the boundaries of what theatre can be online.

THE WORK
Jerma985 is a Twitch streamer, and (in my view) one of the greatest artists currently working on the platform. Though The Jerma Dollhouse was created far from a traditional theatre, the way it engaged audiences and forged its story suggest that theatre can happen on Twitch. Digital theatre is largely a new medium, and there is a still a lot of contention around what defines it. The Jerma Dollhouse has earned consideration in this space as a work of art, even if it's creator is compact, and heavily in debt.
Mackenzie Davenport is a theatre director and writer creating video essays on theatre, the arts, and culture.

    For a version of this video with MUCH BETTER AUDIO go here -> czcams.com/video/DDfBo2IHn68/video.html Ahead of screening this video essay at The Legacy of Robert Wilson Conference in August 2024, I made this new version now that I have a real microphone and the slightest idea of how to edit audio. Still leaving this old version up though.

    I don't know if you even check the comments on this video anymore, but I thought you'd like to know this. I was in a class thought by Katie Mitchell and she literally referenced this video at one point. She said she was impressed by the accuracy of this video. So there you go, your Katie Mitchell video is Mitchell approved!

      the outro song is a beat made by my friend Noah with Jay-Z vocals saying 'HOVA' over it. I thought the pun was funny.

  • @badger6882
    @badger6882 Před rokem

    This really was so innovative. The dollhouse reminds me of the Chase Brody stream by Jacksepticeye two months ago in the ISIS project, in which the interactions by chat impact the story and are supposed to bring about deeper meaning for the plot. Extreme long-form and extreme short-form are very popular these days, with Jerma utilising the best of both. There's just so much potential in these new art mediums springing up with a demand for new media. The 19th century was an era of nationalism, the 20th century a battle of ideology, the 21st century a time of aesthetics.
