“Dr. Maybe Darling” is a multimedia solo performance based on an autobiographical text that raises the question of decision-making process and free will. Video (live feed and pre-recorded material) and speech (live and pre-recorded) are in a constant dialogue with the performer on stage, thereby making digital media necessary elements in unfolding the story. At first, speech, information, and thoughts dominate;
then the system overloads and the body takes over the mind.
