THE RING OF KATHARSY
The Ring of Katharsy invites the audience to watch a tournament the rules of which are similar to those of video games. In this system two players face off for four cutthroat games. The encounter takes place on the ring via the players’ flesh and blood avatars. They direct them, they give them orders or else become one with them by lending them their voice.
