By “fabricating” a fictitious theatrical performance from all aspects, the group created the “experience” of “missing a masterpiece.”
In addition, by not only fabricating the performance but the riot that occurred in the audience, and by getting extras recruited from the audience to post scenes of the riot on social media, the group created an actual “Battle of Hernani” by means of modern media, incorporating the online environment and social media discussion space as part of the work.
