Abstract

"Immersive In/Sights: Performing the Cancer Experience" is an article that discusses the immersive site-specific performance called "PasPort - A True Adventure" by Mikros Notos Theatre Group. The performance takes place in the Asylon Aniaton Hospice in Athens, Greece, and explores the experience of breast cancer through a blend of immersive theater and medical narratives. The audience is invited to explore different rooms symbolizing various stages of cancer, and the performance addresses topics such as breast reconstruction dilemmas, sexuality, and the pursuit of normalcy post-illness. While the article suggests that the performance could have been more impactful by maintaining a raw and unsettling tone, it acknowledges the importance of concluding on a reassuring note to provide hope for those facing cancer.
