An eerie new writing play examining Earth through a comparative lens of a parallel Earth, one which was overrun by technology, climate crises and an apathy emergency.
Two main characters, one technologically advanced human - played by two actors - and one parental AI - played by AI - tell the story of how greed, catastrophe and social decline exacerbated the different demographic variables into further oppression, and now, when space-time travel has finally become possible, the only thing that truly ever mattered, was human connection.
Performed in Studio 8 during RBC Symposium Festival 2023, The Curse of Being a Pisces enjoyed a spirited audience, making the interactive aspects of this show especially engaging and lively.
