Imagine a time about 90 years in the future when re-creating the past in any form is forbidden. What’s an archaeologist to do? Spectropia, the title character in a new hybrid of a theatrical piece by Toni Dove, manages by accident to leave her repressive society and, through a trip back in time, reach Depression-era New York.
Dove, a New York artist devoted primarily to electronic media, blends film noir, science fiction and ghostly romance in Spectropia, opening Thursday at the Wexner Center for the Arts.
The work marks the second in a trilogy of narrative pieces begun in 1998 — through which Dove incorporates pre-shot scenes and blends elements of video games, experimental theater and interactive movies.
