Part performance, part parlour game, WeeTube uses the publicly posted comments found under popular YouTube Videos as performance text in an effort to highlight both the brilliant and the mundane found in the world’s most populated critical discourse.

WeeTube is a durational, installation-based and site-responsive performance for an intimate audience. The performers watch YouTube videos with audience members and then perform the publicly posted comments in a variety of dramatic settings. These comments have been prerecorded into the performer’s iPods and they speak the text as they hear it.

The performance is durational in nature--stop by for as long as you like.

Created by James Long and Maiko Bae Yamamoto. Performed by James Long and Hazel Venzon. WeeTube premiered as part of HIVE 2, commissioned by the Magnetic North Theatre Festival.
