"The Real Presence (its title a punning reference to the theological doctrine of transubstantiation) purports to be a television documentary on the various manifestations of theatre at the (Avignon) Festival, but framed within the science-fiction conceit of an interactive video tour conducted by an out-of-work actor. Thanks to some remarkable low-tech special effects, our guide finds himself the spectator of his own performance and eventual suicide as the piece broadens into a dizzying meditation on the frontiers of theatrical illusion..." - Ian Christie, Sight and Sound
