What does it mean to be human?
Artificial intelligence is asking the big questions about humanity in this evolving work from Layer Hendrix-the nom de plume of writing/performing duo Ajai Tripathi and Patrick Hilton, who co-created Great White Goes Down, the final act of Tripathi's 'Great White' trilogy.
The 60-minute multimedia performance will use sketches and improv to explore the life of 'America's bard' in contrast to an AI that is trying to understand his work. Powered by real-time audience feedback, the machine and its output are subject to the crowd's dictation.
The world's first piece of transhuman generative theatre invites you into the body electric, where you don't just watch the story; you customize it.
