A sci-fi love thriller about humans, humanoids, and the question of what distinguishes us
Can we look into the future? No, but we can imagine it, and make a performance about it. A double win. Suppose: you live in 2225. Your parents are suddenly gone. An uncle you don't know takes you in, and then you suddenly fall in love with someone you're not sure how human they actually are.
In Code ♥ theater maker Stef De Paepe builds a half-familiar, half-alienating universe full of avatrons, neurospecx, and crapcoins; he lets real actors and a virtual player share the stage together. Nice detail: AI software generates the sets live, so the digital design of the performance unfolds before your eyes, no one knows in advance what it will look like.
