Description

Welcome to the (near) future. Enter a world where romance has been “solved” by algorithms and Artificial Intelligence is commonplace. Enjoy five overlapping narratives, from space miners to tech moguls, that weave together into a show that explores relationships; with technology, with creativity, and with ourselves. This is storytelling theatre that’s equal parts funny and moving, featuring a unique performance generated by AI.
