Abstract
The article deals with such a cultural phenomenon as the post-corporeity, that is, what has replaced the traditional practice of bodily interactions and sensations, as a result of the temporary total creative drift of culture into cyberspace. Virtual theater experiments represent a complete subtraction, the exclusion of the actor’s and audience’s body from the dramatic text, the demarcation of the sensory and tactile base of the performance itself. The post-drama emphasis on visualization has been replaced by a new round of verbalization, where the story is forced to shorten in favor of the brevity of the virtual genre due to technological difficulties. Digital theater offers to discover the erogenous zones of the virtual body in order to freely respond to the cyber-desires of the viewer.
