Angela Richter è un'acclamata regista teatrale, attivista e autrice il cui lavoro si addentra nell'intersezione tra performance, attivismo e l'era digitale. Le sue esplorazioni artistiche si concentrano su temi come la sorveglianza di massa, la libertà di informazione e il ruolo dei whistleblower nella società contemporanea. Richter impiega approcci innovativi, spesso attraverso progetti transmediali che fondono il teatro con elementi multimediali, per esaminare questioni sociali e politiche complesse. Le sue creazioni sfidano il pubblico a considerare i confini della libertà e della responsabilità nell'era digitale.
The Krypto Economy explores the dynamics of our digital age to foster a responsible technological future.
