Will machines take revenge on us? Featuring Alan Cox on Screen. Dimitry Melkin, playwright and director, unites storytelling, dance and neural network-driven visuals into a single, evolving score. Performed by rising star Gladstone Mahib, the piece follows a machine striving to rediscover the human image, offering a speculative yet incisive vision of the future. Language becomes soundscape, blending meaning, glitches, hypertext and layered quotations. Voices from Waters, Land, Catullus, Pushkin, Tennessee Williams, Philip Dick, Benjamin, Japanese poetry, ancient philosophy, the Bob and Alice bot dialogue, and the AlphaZero-Stockfish "immortal zugzwang", shape a contemporary cyberpunk lexicon.
