BA Applied Theatre (Community and Education) presents: The Ghost Algorithm
"Science and technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response.” - Arthur M. Schlesinger
An original piece of ‘theatre for our times’, devised and performed by first year BA Applied Theatre students. Meet Eden, a young woman driven by a deep desire to reconnect with her ancestry and understand her past. In contrast, her mother has made a name for herself by pushing boundaries, always striving toward the future.
Drawing inspiration from Amy Kurzweil’s Artificial: A Love Story, Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror, and the latest advancements in AI, The Ghost Algorithm explores timeless themes of human ambition and the consequences of overreach. With echoes of the myth of Prometheus and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, this modern tale probes the intersection of technology, identity, and the nature of existence.
Running time approx. 60 minutes
