Set in the year 2029, the world teeters on the brink of collapse. The Artificial Intelligence Omnitron proposes a radical solution: to eradicate the species responsible for the chaos: humans. However, Omnitron offers a glimmer of hope: humans can be uploaded to a cloud version, a gesture it considers an act of love.
This interactive performance titled The trial against humanity invites the audience to question the verdict and defend themselves against Omnitron’s accusations. A showcase of excerpts from the original production.
