DAS experiment

an immersive work FOR AGES 8+

Doctor Heinz Senffinger invites you to step inside his revolutionary laboratory, where he has achieved what some might call the impossible: the creation of two AI-controlled beings—perfect synthetic human friends! Smarter, faster, and stronger than any human, yet completely indistinguishable from us. In the future, they could be your teacher, your best friend, or even someone you trust with your most personal secrets, but before that future can arrive, Dr. Senffinger must teach them what it means to be human.

This immersive dance performance looks at the exciting and confusing world of artificial intelligence as a metaphor for control and freedom, what it means to be ‘perfect’ and how it feels to be misunderstood or held back.
