Original take on a topical issue, mad, funny thought provoking, sweet show about a world where AI takes over - performed by a diverse talented group of young people created by youth theatre group CONUNDRUM in Singapore -definitely see this show

We loved this show! Featuring a cast of talented young performers who have travelled all the way from
Singapore, this show presents a thought provoking topic in a hilarious manner. The dance is amazing. The costumes are striking. The performances of Man, iBot, and Human are excellent. With slick direction and clever writing. Thoroughly entertaining - don’t miss it!

AI v Humans is a seriously hot topic and is usually debated in a po faced and at times angry manner. This show acted by young people had us laughing at the brilliant jokes but also nodding at and pondering the deep truths. Kudos to the writer of this wonderful piece Sophia Simmons. Go and see this show before it ends on 10 August.

AI is a hot topic! As we become immersed in this world, often walking blind into the risks for the excitement of it all, this talented group of young performers from Singapore open our eyes to the hype, the realities, possibilities and pitfalls. The future is here & this thought provoking play, shines a light on how our efforts to be innovative, need to be tempered with humane and ethical action or we're all doomed? Or are we? There are always deviants who find a way through love to change the ending..will love be enough to survive? Don't miss this on point and topical show that will have you pondering long after the final bow. 5 star!

This performance showcases a group of really talented and diverse teenage actors from Singapore. An engaging and thought-provoking piece of theatre about humankind’s future in a world shared with AI. A love story with great humour, some tears and some rip-roaring dance. At this mid-morning time slot it won’t fail to set your day off with a smile and something to ponder. Do go.

Engaging show from a talented young cast and crew from Singapore, exploring the fast approaching doomsday scenario of Artificial General Intelligence taking over the world.

High quality production, music and robo-boogie dance sequences! Must see!

Friends took me to see this show today. First I was not too keen because I came mainly for the stand up comedy, but I had a total blast and loved this show. Young cast from Singapore portraying our future life with robots - conflicts and love stories included. The young actors were all super and I really recommend that you go and see the show, specially because it runs at a time slot when you can easily fit it in. I think some of these kids might go places, thats how good they all were!

I saw the opening of this show today and was extremely impressed by this young group of performers from Singapore. The show is a witty comedy about AI, set in a not-so distant future. It takes a critical look at our increasing use of electronic devices and explores the relationship robots might have with the human race. I highly recommend it! (Did I mention it features a robot dance? Hilarious!)

All in all, it’s a performance so full of bounding enthusiasm and with some really great work in the costume, music and multimedia segments shown on monitors through the play. Conundrum Theatre clearly has a lot of talent and enthusiasm.
